Great pictures! Must be wonderful to be near so much wildlife. I will trade you a dozen squirrels for some birds! :-)
Where did birds sit/nest before there were telphone poles and lines?
It's so satisfying to capture a bird.. with your camera that is. Looks like you had a lovely day full of sightings. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Missicat. Kind of you to offer, but we have our share of squirrels here.
Hilary, thanks. It really is satisfying to get bird pics. They were over the course of a few days although the robin and swallow were within a few minutes of each other.
dfLeah - great photos! We don't have ospreys here (at least, not that I know of) and the sandhill cranes that used to nest at the dugout across the road didn't come back this year, so I haven't seen any. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, dfBag Lady. We get a few pairs of cranes around here. We were quite lucky to see them that morning, though, as it seemed a bit late in the day for them to be out. I guess the kids were still hungry.
The ospreys were south and east of Red Deer. The others were local birds.
Great photos Leah! Your new camera does an amazing job!
*Sigh* In your hands, mine would do an amazing job too!
Thanks so very much, Reb.
It's a really good camera and the lens is incredible. I'm so glad I had it when we saw the cranes. Feel a wee bit funny taking credit for photos done with everything on automatic, but what the hey.
That said, the ospreys were done with the Fujifinepix.
Oh, what beautiful photos! Birds are such marvelous and amazing creatures. :)
Thanks, Thomma Lynn.
It was a pleasure to get these pictures.
