Black capped chickadee on a cold day

Posted By Tyler Allred
It has been very cold for the last couple of days, here in Utah. But, I managed to find a couple of birds to photograph. This is another one from my jobsite. Notice the frost on the branches. It was -5 degrees Tuesday morning and everything was covered with frost.
Cheers,
Tyler

Bald Eagle and Dinner

Posted By Tyler Allred
It's not one of my better photos, but I thought the subject matter was interesting. It looks like this eagle has been working on that carcass for a while.... there isn't much left of it.
Cheers,

Eagle Pics - In Flight

Posted By Tyler Allred
Taken today, at my jobsite. It was moving pretty fast, but I managed to get one frame that showed the whole bird.

Posted at 1/4 original resolution.

Great shot James. I love it when you can catch those mixed cloud forms. Spectacular!

Winter's Beauty

I took this on the morning of the 6th, when the early light was on the mountain but not on the dark cloud background. It really caught my eye. I hope you like it too.
Cheers,

Dark-eyed Junco Portrait

Posted By Tyler Allred
I took this photo today, in my back yard. It was just cropped from the larger original at native resolution, and posted. I have taken many photos of this species, but I think I like this one as well as any I have taken.
Cheers,
Tyler

Nice one James. It looks like the con trail is exploding at the sunburst. Very cool.

Great photo James... I agree with Jeff, it looks like a Dark-eyed Junco to me as well.

Jackpot!

Posted By Tyler Allred
I was driving home from the restoration project today, when I spotted this eagle swooping down toward the river. I actually saw him take this fish from the water and fly to a nearby tree. After nearly causing a major wreck (hitting my breaks in the canyon), I pulled over and set up my Celestron 5 with Nikon D100 at prime focus. I shot about 20 frames out the truck window, handheld at about 2000mm effective focal length. I couldn't believe it when I got home and the photos were in good focus. These were taken at about 130-150 yards. They are reduced to about 1/2 original resolution. You can actually see the number (X2) on the blue leg band.
Cheers,
Tyler
