I get the privilege of being first. I hope these don't disappoint. Here's a few shots I got on a birding trip to Ecuador last month. Lighting conditions were challenging, or rather: it rained every minute of every day for 5 days straight. Then it stopped for 2 hours and then it rained some more.

Sounds like trying conditions Hopkins you did well - definitely some different species there.

I got extraordinarily fortunate ( read that as lucky!) I was trying to get a mated pair of Hooded Mergansers
![]() They were having a discussion... when the wood ducks showed up. I was under a set of bushes above the flood containment pond called by the neighborhood "Lake Le Mark" It was the only way to get even that close to the Mergansers. I can say the shots were taken from about 55 yards away. The moment they even thought a human was around the wood ducks bolted ![]() and now a serious crop of the leaving ![]() Thanks for viewing. |

Some first shots with Sigma 150-500 taken today. I posted some others in the lens forum. Both A77, 500mm, f8 and Juncos.
ISO1600, 1/320sec ![]() ISO800, 1/200sec. A bit windy - looks a bit like a Titmouse crest on top. ![]() |

Aha, the obligatory sandhill cranes. I happen to prefer the egret portrait for a change!

From this morning I only have a bird print to show.
A pigeon with a small falcon biting in his neck flew into our window with a mighty blow. The pigeon didn't survive but the falcon flew away before I could get my camera out. You can see the falcon's head/beak print behind the entire pigeon print. This picture was helped by a strong sun backlight and some extra clarity in Lightroom. ![]() A700 + 100/2.8 macro D |
