    Morning all,

    We have recently returned from a Belize birding trip. Neither I nor my wife are "rabid" birders, but enjoy birdwatching when we can. But the trip was also an opportunity to away from all the daily rigamarole that makes up daily life. Of the photos I have processed so far this is my favorite.

    Black-bellied Whistling Ducks lined up for a pic.

    Lovely image of the whistling ducks

    Thanks Jaberg - another duck had squawked at him and he made a swift and quite aggressive reply
    regards Peter

    A Very Hungry Egret

    Getting pretty hot for a few days and the wildflowers may whither away. Went to the San Jacinto Wildlife Refuge. First time and I don't live that far away. Fascinating area. Came across a very interesting (and not very concerned about my being there) egret who was feasting in the marsh. I will post a set later because I got some other interesting shots, including the colorful vegetation. However this creature was all by his lonesome and having a good time. So was I because I am not a birder. But I may become one.... hear me, Morris? OOC jpeg with a skosh more sharpening w/Topaz. Be sure to blow it up and tell me what's in the beak.

    Nice Bob. I think it has a small fish thought that could be capillary action and some water.

    Morris

    Thanks, Morris. Maybe I should take a small set of binoculars are a monocular with me. What I did discover is for most of the birds, ya gotta be patient and let them come to you or nearby.

    Flight of the Great Horned Owl

    Around sunset, the mother of the GHO chicks I've been showing becomes active and flies from tree to tree always landing in a place where she has a view of the nest. In this case she went from a very tall oak tree to a pine tree and I captured her in the last glow of the sunset. Using 40 FPS allowed me to have some frames were she was mostly visible as there were trees between us.

    Comments and suggestions welcome,

    Morris

    Nice set, Morris. I plan to do a similar stealth set with the Egret shots but not as dramatic as a mother owl and her nest. Interesting the way it stalks its prey then grabs it in the shallow water.

    The problem with bird pictures is that we see so many of them that it’s difficult to make one that stands out. This image does. Nice capture. Great story here.

    Looks like the bird needs a small set of dentures! 😁

    Facing west with my trusty X-T2 and 16-55 f/2.8 at the Continental Divide, Berthoud Pass, Colorado (11,300 feet above sea level). All the water on this side flows towards the Pacific Ocean, behind me, towards the Atlantic.

    More pictures from Iceland
    0923_LR_2.jpg
    1) Lomagnupur mountain is a huge rock on the South Coast, known for being one of the most recognizable mountains in Iceland.
    0940_LR_2.jpg
    2) A variety of foregrounds around the mountain contribute to making Lomagnupur a very desirable location for landscape photography
    0947_LR_1.jpg
    3) Fossalar river and waterfall are located in South Iceland. A series of cascades and its surroundings make it a popular stop for photographers
    1015_LR_4M.jpg
    4) Fjadragljufur canyon (try to pronounce this...). When the glacier retreated, a lake formed in the valley behind a hard resistant rock. The runoff from the lake flowed to where Fjadragljufur is today, and erosion did the work
    1105_LR_PS_2.jpg
    5) The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it including the area behind the waterfall. Raingear is required to walk along the pathway

    Thanks for looking!

    Snared a Silvereye up in the canopy yesterday at the far end of Sydney's Bicentennial Park

    Light not great even though it was early morning.

    Used the 1.4 TC on the 100-400 at max reach of 560. Still this is a crop.

    Was lucky to score it with a bug.

    Cheers
