Some really nice images, Larry, especially the jays.

Thank you Alan.

I’m pretty sure that I used the Bigma with all of the photos except the 
Turkeys.  The Bigma is a bit large to conveniently carry on my bicycle.

I had a real dilemma today on my bike ride.  I was making reasonable time and 
the same flock of turkeys was crossing the road, I was actually quite close to 
some of the chicks, and was tempted to stop and pull out the camera, but I was 
also fairly certain that had I done so, the chicks would have hurried off into 
the bushes while I was still fumbling to get the camera out of the bag.

Blondes Brunettes?  I’m afraid it’s been a while since I’ve photographed any 
birds in British colloquial, or chicks in American colloquial.

Bird photo backlog

[Larry Colen]

I’m catching up on about a month of backlog of bird photos.  The towhees and 
especially the juncos seem to be becoming a lot less concerned about my 
presence.  I’ve had juncos land within a few feet of me.  There isn’t anything 
spectacular in these photos, but I did get a few decent ones, particularly of 
the young juncos.

Unfortunately, I’ve gotten no good photos of the family of hawks that live 
across the river, I’m almost getting to the point where I wish they’d shut  up.

Thanks Ann. You are right about the third pic. A soft background is so 
important for semi macro work.

You just did.  And I agree with you.  We need about a 40% reduction, as a 
minimum.  If it happens, it will be selective but not in a way most people 
would want.  Areas of high population will be decimated.

Interesting question.  Possible reasons:
they are aggressive, flying predators
they display what appears to be curiosity - walk into their territory and they 
will hover in front of your face, apparently examining you.
part of their jaw shoots forward to capture prey, rather like a dragon shooting 
fire.

Or you could get all folklorey about it.

I think they look cute.
