I really like photos that show these birds in trees. Very cool.

Something Different

I fired up the 200mm Micro Nikkor this evening and tried a few shots of a melting icicle. Here is one from the group.

Kestrel with Leg Strap

Posted By Tyler Allred

Sorry about the quality of these two shots, but the backlight was pretty bad. I didn't even notice the leg strap until I was at home looking over the photos. Is this a training strap, of some sort, that has broken?

Kestrel Photos - My Best

Posted By Tyler Allred

I happened across this kestrel today, while adventuring with my two youngest daughters at Utah Lake. I used the Celestron 5 with the D100 at prime focus, and handheld it out the window of my truck. I took several frames, and they all turned out pretty good. I think these are the best kestrel photos that I have ever taken. Here is one frame...

American Coot

Posted By Tyler Allred

I was particularly interested in the feet of this common bird. I see coots all the time but never before noticed how distinctive the feet are.

Starling

Posted By Tyler Allred

Taken with the D100 at prime of the Celestron 5, handheld (but steadied) out the truck window. I have had a tough time getting decent photos of these birds. They always seem to have something wrong. This one turned out OK though.
Cheers,

Northern Flicker

Posted By Tyler Allred

I drove my daughter to school today. We left a little early and just happened to take the camera gearsmile I took a number of photos of this Flicker with the VR lens and my C5. It makes for an interesting comparison. Here is one shot with the 80-400mm VR. It is the full frame, reduced to 800 on the long dimension.
