I don't think "the blob" had been partially eaten; I think it began to

The caterpillar could well be that of a sphinx moth; we have plenty of

Have fed niger to these things or several years. Last year and again this year, 
the number of Gold finches has been very low. However, during that time the 
House finch numbers have greatly increased. Weather and migration patterns I 
suppose. (?)
If I don't get a chance at the yellow ones in a shadow, exposure is difficult.
You did good, Paul.

Re: GESO: Spring Visitors

2013-03-25 Thread Stan Halpin

Thanks Frank. Note that there are three levels in the image display. From the 
GESO link you get a row of thumbnails. Double-clicking on one opens that image 
in full size, and then keyboard arrow keys allow navigation from there. All 
of which I've said before, and this is usually my preferred UI mode.

However, if you single-click rather than double-click on one of the original 
thumbnails, you will see a less-than-full-size version of that image, but with 
the advantage that you can see the caption. 
Also, in this view mode, hovering the cursor over the upper right corner opens 
a window with basic exif info such as camera and lens used. A single-click on 
the medium-size image takes you on up to the full screen version, another 
single click there takes you back down to mid-size.

The first three shots are Common Mergansers: a male swimming, a female trying 
to swallow a small fish, and a male flying. Next come the Hooded Merganser, 
Ring-necked Duck, and Wood Duck.

Thanks Paul.
The last in the series is the Wood Duck. I've only seen the one this spring, 
that one afternoon. I think I spotted his mate flying past the next morning but 
didn't get a good enough look for a certain identification. I hear reports that 
we have had nesting pairs in the immediate vicinity, but our small river

A cheerful set. One of them is a wood duck I believe. Somewhat rare in 
these parts.


My Birds of Michigan book says they are year round in Michigan and common. 
I had a pair try to nest in a tree in my backyard a few years ago - only saw 
them for a day so I guess they didn't like the accomodations. Very strange 
to see ducks in a tree!

Thanks Aahz.
The fifth shot, Wood Duck (which first showed up as a PESO a couple of weeks 
ago, then moved over into the GESO a couple of days ago) was with my Sigma 
150-500 which I think is not the lens you and some others refer to as a Bigma.  
The other four shots are with a Pentax DA* 300/4.0
