Sandhill Crane

Posted By Tyler Allred

I couldn't believe my luck today.... I stumbled onto a pair of sandhills with two chicks. The adults proceeded to put on quite a show, including pretending to be injured just like a killdeer would. To top it off, several red-winged blackbirds were pestering the adults. It made for an excellent photo opportunity. I got so many good frames I couldn't decide which to post... but here is one.
Cheers,
Tyler

I took this today in my front yard, just as I got home from work. This thing was enormous!

Common Tern

Posted By Tyler Allred

I think? These are a little hard to ID, but I think it is a common tern. They sure are streamlined!

GB Heron

Posted By Tyler Allred

Here is a great blue that I took using the Celestron 5. I would guess that this bird was over 100 yards away when I took the photo.

GB Heron - Fishing Sequence 1

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all,
Just got back from a little adventure with three of my daughters. The GB Herons were mostly uncooperative, except this one. I managed a pretty nice sequence of this bird catching a small fish.
