Hiding behind leaves, turning away…I just couldn’t grab a clear shot of these guys!

Far Away Birds
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!

Marshland Bird
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!

Fly Away
Yes, Let’s fly away! Where would you fly to?
Spring is in the Air
These little guys just hatched! Their nest is under the stairs out the back door of our walk-out basement.
Lonely Heron
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.
