Day 121

A Common Goldeneye and his Mrs. (1/3000s f/8.0 ISO500 400mm Canon 7D) Here is a bit of a mystery.  It looks like an American Widgeon, but the color of the stripe by the eye is wrong. (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO500 400mm 7D) My book shows it should be green. (1/1500s f/8.0 ISO500 400mm 7D) Maybe this is […]

Day 120

All too often we photographers forget that the colorful birds are only half of the story.  I thereby present: Mrs. Northern Shoveler. (1/2000s f/5.6 ISO320 400mm Canon 7D) (1/2000s f/5.6 ISO320 400mm Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 119

A Common Loon.  In the snow. (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO320 400mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D) “Who you calling common?” (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO320 400mm +1/2 stop 7D) These are actually color photos, not monochrome! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 118

A Horned Griebe. (1/1000s f/8.0 ISO320 400mm Canon 7D) (1/1500s f/8.0 ISO320 400mm 7D) (1/2000s f/5.6 ISO320 400mm +1 stop 7D) (1/1500s f/5.6 ISO320 400mm +1.5 stops 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

A Northern Shoveler. (1/350s f/11.0 ISO320 400mm Canon 7D) In the snow. (1/350s f/11.0 ISO320 400mm 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 115

With a new covering of 6+ inches of snow, the birds down by the River were surprisingly cooperative!  I am not a big fan of the seagulls around here (California Gulls are nasty birds, or maybe it is the connotation of the name…nope, they are particularly nasty birds!) but here are five pretty nice photos. […]

Day 114

Rosy cheeked Toots, soccer diva in training! (1/1600s f/5.0 ISO200 32.6mm (35mm eq:153mm) -1/3 stop Nikon P7100) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 113

Tante Knick-Knack strikes again: bling for the new big brother and sister… They >>almost<< looked at the camera at the same time… (All photos Nikon P7100) “Here’s somethin’ good, Lugnut!” “Markers!  Now we can redecorate our rooms!” Of course, the box (or basket in this case) is still more fun than the contents… Not to […]

Day 112
