Seasons and More
Every once in awhile I try my hand at photographing birds, and they are usually too far away for the mediocre lens that I have to get anything super clear. It’s still fun to try and see what I get though. They are a challenge to capture for me – flying around and hopping from branch to branch so quickly!

There’s a marsh near my home that I like to go to a few times throughout the year because it changes depending on if the caretakers have recently cut back the grass or reeds or how tall they have grown since last time I was out. The water level fluctuates as well. The bird life can vary too.
This week I went out and stood in the same spot for twenty minutes and took a couple dozen images. Ended up with 12 keepers, enough for 7 posts. 🙂
I used five of those twenty minutes on this bird alone. He was really far away, so mostly what I got is a nice silhouette of him.
He sat on that branch forever tweeting away. I stayed on him though, because I was determined to get a shot of him flying away. And by gosh, I did!

Good Morning!
Yes, Let’s fly away! Where would you fly to?
These little guys just hatched! Their nest is under the stairs out the back door of our walk-out basement.
This pretty one was sitting (standing) out in the middle of the water all by his lonesome fishing for food. I was under the impression that they traveled in pairs but I never saw another one around in the time I was there.
