Birdsong Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 First baldy for me: Spotted towhee: Never make a towhee angry--apparently they see red: Same old bird, different environment. This is when tide was out: Nesting material among the horsetails: And finally my little chickadee: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 That first shot is very well done, great detail and good exposure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catmendo Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I totally agree with dan, nicely done! Love those big baby blues on your little chickadee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dockothebay Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Very nice series - the eagle is excellent. I believe your little chickadee is my favorite species though -- grandkids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Shutterbug Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'd say that you had a very successful trip. That bald eagle shot is great. I love the way he's framed by the pine tree. You even captured the catchlight. Your little chickadee is quite adorable, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinchicks Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nice series. Love that last one - what a cutie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdsong Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 I love the way he's framed by the pine tree. Funny--that is the pine tree right outside my window/door. Because of the distance between branches, what it normally frames on a clear day is Mount Reinier! I had been trying to capture that in water color all weekend. Unfortunately, the horizon was still clouded when the eagle arrived. Wouldn't that have been a photo-op??? Thanks for your comments, all. Dan, I printed off your instructions on layers/ luminosity and sharpening. For some reason my eagle shots all halo immediately on that lead wing edge with anything more than 20/7. But I seem to be missing a step in your process. I gave up and lassoed this one last night, just to have one finished. I will get my Kelby manual out.

ShawnZ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Fantastic song sparrow image with the sparrow collecting nesting material. I love the choclaty look to the northwestern song sparrow. The eagle image is also very nice and I agree with X about the way the bird is framed by the pine boughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
