It’s been slow. But I have an Eastern bluebird, redwing blackbirds and a woodpecker that needs some chiropractic help. ?

I need to work on my photography skills.

Throwback to when I was a young naive child with a bad camera. Now I’m an older naive child with a decent camera. Let’s see what I’ve got. They aren’t all from today, but I haven’t been active for a while, so bear with me.

Here’s another one. The other photos aren’t sending right from my phone, but I got a killer shot of a Burrowing Owl.

Blue winged Teals!!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite ducks. I have only see them a few times sadly though.

Finally got some good Grackle shots today! Their subtle bronzy coloration is pretty amazing for a blackbird, in my opinion.

Nice shot!

If you're so inclined, you could report it as the (Bronzed) subspecies, since you pointed it out! By the Atlantic that bronze iridescence is purple!

Thanks!

I looked through a bunch of Bronzed Grackles on Macaulay, and it’s pretty neat to see the range of variation on some of them. Unfortunately the bronzed subspecies isn’t an option on my filter, I’ll see if I can add it tomorrow though.

I’m pretty happy with how this Red-winged Blackbird head shot from yesterday turned out!

Not best quality but my favorite.

This was a lens test of a vintage Vivitar 135mm 2.8 lens on my Sony A7ll. This lens was made in the early 70s and the used price in only about $20. I have had this for years and never used it till today. I like it better then my Minolta 135mm from the same area. Photo is from about 5 ft away.

That is a good picture. It just needed a bit of editing. WhatBird decreased it's sharpness from what I had it at.
