We got a nice, heavy snow on Wednesday and the mountain bluebirds came down from the mountains to "warm up."

Just about egg laying time. She is getting very protective of the nest.

Great pose and light, Ed.

Kestrel are usually hard to approach, but, every year or so, one will let me follow it from mullein stalk to mullein stalk, over and over. Such was the case yesterday:

Shot after sundown, with my Sony a9, 400/f2.8, 2.0x teleconverter, handheld, at ISO 2500. I think this image is testimony to the a9's high-ISO performance, as well as the effectiveness of DxO's PRIME noise reduction.

Itsed65 · 03-21-2019, 08:25 PM

Went with kind of a "pen and ink" look with this one

Been a member of Bimmerpost for about a month now, and just found this thread. Nice to see other bird and wildlife photographers here! Here's one of my recent shots. Full disclosure, this was taken at the San Diego Zoo.

Weebl · 03-23-2019, 11:39 AM

Zoo or not, that's good

Juvenile bald eagle, Hudson River.

Stellar shot, DC. Perfect timing. Frameworthy.
