  1. Bird vs Bees

    Bird vs Bees

    My hummingbird feeder has been mobbed by honeybees over the last few weeks, searching for nectar. As a result, the local hummingbirds have had some problems. But this Anna's hummingbird eventually settled in for some sips, albeit on the far side of the feeder from the bees.

    Great Egret talking

    This Great Egret lives near my old farmhouse in southern Oregon, and often hangs out in willow trees, near some local irrigation ditches and ponds. At the moment I took this shot, he appears to be speaking or calling out - but actually I think he may just have been yawning.

    Canon SX50 HS or Panasonic FZ60

    Hi, I'm a newbie to bird photography and willing to get a camera, but got really confused. I searched all I could and stopped on these two superzooms, but can't decide which one. SX50 is good in many ways but those 2 FPS seem to be a quite an obstacle for shooting small birds. On the other hand...

    If you had to choose…

    Hi everyone! After getting a camera feeder, I have a new found love for birds! I’m looking to get a birding camera and have narrowed it down to a few options that I’d love to get your input on. For context, I know none of these are exceptional setups and am just looking for the best choice...

    house finch (m) in forsythia.jpg

    Handsome little red head hanging in the frigid winter air. I have a 3 month old Labrador retriever, so potty breaks are frequent. Easy solution to the constant work from home interruptions, keep the camera near the back door and hope for test subjects each time you go out. This is just an early...

    song sparrow on winter grass.jpg

    Anyone who knows me already expects my photo description to either be a single short phrase, or a dissertation. Somehow my mind doesn't work in the middle, LOL. Anyway, this is about the gear not the bird. There are thousands of these sweet little song sparrows on the forums already that have...

    The first new lifer of the year - Common Redpoll!

    On my first birding walk I managed to actually see a new lifer, a Common Redpoll! There was a small flock of around half a dozen or so near my apartment looking for food.

    Canon EOS 80D always slightly "fuzzy"

    Hello! I am an avid birdwatcher and photographer for a little over a year now and I have absolutely loved using my Canon EOS 80D for it. I have recently been trying to up my game and increase the quality of my shots by reading guides and tutorials. I have been trying to get better in flight...

    A group of 9 Black Vultures I came across in a suburban neighborhood were picking at some roadkill carcasses. This one noticed me and lined up for this elegant shot.

    Red-footed booby

    This white morph variant was photographed at the north shore of Kauai island, near the Kilauea Lighthouse at Kilauea Point. The point is a wildlife refuge, and one of the top spots in the world to see them year round. Although the red feet are tucked in flight, this is one of the best pics I was...
