Baby Owls

Posted By Tyler Allred

I went back to the nest, and took a few more shots. The nest is in a really hard place to photograph.... with strong backlight and few gaps in the tree branches. At any rate, here is a frame that shows one of the babies, and mom in her usual sleeping pose.
Cheers,
Tyler

Western Kingbird

Posted By Tyler Allred

Last one for today. I actually had very little time for photos today, but everywhere I went, the birds were posing. Many of the pics from today were taken from the truck as I toured several recent restoration sites.
(80-400mm VR on this one)

Wilson's Warbler

Posted By Tyler Allred

I am soooo stupid! I was playing with the camera last night, and switched it to ISO 1600..... and then forgot to change it back. I shot a number of shots today, including some that would have been really nice, but when I downloaded them, they were all grainy sad Here is one that I tried to rescue. It's a Wilson's Warbler.

Western Tanager

Posted By Tyler Allred

I spotted my first Western Tanager of the year today in Heber Valley. The bird was in the shade, and I shot this from the truck because I didn't have time to stop and try for something better. As such, it really isn't very good, but it is such a beautiful bird that I thought I would post it anyway.
Cheers,
Tyler
