Day 142

Something other than the backyard bunch… I was down by the River and had the best and worst of timing…before I saw this Osprey, there was another, with a fish in its claws. (1/500s f/8.0 ISO250 300mm +1 stop Canon 7D) As I was driving down the road to where I usually stop, the Osprey […]

Day 141: An Afternoon in the Barrow Backyard Bird Sanctuary…

A fun time with finches and doves… I would say a female Lesser Goldfinch, but both my guides say this is well outside of its range.  So it is probably a female American Goldfinch.  It looks more like a Lesser to me… (1/90s f/8.0 ISO200 300mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D) A wallpaper version of the photo […]

Day 139

A Common Loon. (1/500s f/6.7 ISO400 300mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D) If it seems like there are a lot of Loon photos this year, well, there are.  There were a lot of Loons.  I don’t think I saw but one last year, and none the year before! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 137

From down on the Missouri… This is a Horned Grebe. (1/1500s f/6.7 ISO250 400mm Canon 7D) I didn’t realize this wasn’t an Eared Grebe until I got home and looked at the photos. (1/1500s f/6.7 ISO250 400mm 7D) A horned Grebe and a California Gull. (1/2000s f/5.6 ISO250 400mm +1/2 stop 7D) This is an […]

Day 136

A belated Mother’s Day  surprise, a day early… The Dailylife Wife had to work on Mother’s Day, so I had her open her surprises Saturday evening…. (All photos: Nikon Coolpix P7100 with flash.) The Card. The first layer of distraction. Hello Kitty Tatoos and such. Then the Almonds, M&M’s and Twizzlers. Then the big surprise. Her […]
