Pretty cool stuff. I am going to try the software that he is using. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Fox getting harassed

Posted By Tyler Allred

The magpies must get really annoying to the predators that live around Heber Valley. They pester the predators relentlessly. I saw this fox today and managed to get within range before it saw me. The magpie was making a lot of racket, which probably diverted its attention long enough for me to get in close.

If only my aim were better

Posted By Tyler Allred

It always gets me where it hurts when I get a frame like this one. So close.....and yet so far. It's always the top of the wings that I cut off, too. You would think that I would learn to aim high......but NO!

American Kestrel

Taken 12/02/03, near Utah Lake. They usually don't let me get this close. I took this out the open truck window.

Lovely Couple

Taken 12/02/03, near Utah Lake. I know they are common, but when the light hits them just right, they are really beautiful.

Belted Kingfisher.....Finally

Posted By Tyler Allred

I have been trying for more than a year to get decent photo of a kingfisher. I see several every day, but never seem to be able to get close enough for a good shot. Today, my luck changed.

PS - This photo was taken with a Nikon 4300 through the eyepiece of a Swarovski ATS65 with a Swarovski 30X widefield eyepiece.

Killdeer

Posted By Tyler Allred

Taken today, at my jobsite. Most of these left long ago, but a small group just showed up and I was lucky enough to get close....too close for the scope I was using. I had to zoom the camera out so far that the image shows vignetting. Oh well.
