I tried my hand at photographing birds again.
It’s actually rather hard….at least for me
They skitter away in a flurry of wings at the slightest sound
Silently streaking off into the sky, safe from me and my camera
I have many shots of their backs as they swirl quickly away from me
Or I get their portrait through very dirty upstairs windows 🙂
The air is alive with singing
In a tiny shard of time
A hawk flew by looking for supper. He is that weird shape next to the building.
From my world to your heart,

I think you’ve done remarkably well. I’m always without my camera when there’s a bird calmly sitting on something and looking at me, unafraid. The minute I have the camera, they’re away in a big rush.

Yes, that is exactly what happens. And if I am stalking them I NEVER seem to get a good shot

Nice shots – birds in flight are very difficult to catch! Keep after it

I think you’ve done a good job getting pictures of birds in flight. The backs of birds can be very beautiful. It is amazing, though, how birds (and other critters) seen to know when a camera is lurking near.

That one of the gull with its tail spread open is awesome! Haha, I thought they were leaves at first. You can Instagram that with some caption about…”leaves or birds”?

I looked up the directions online but am a bit worried I’d steer you toward making changes to your browser that you’d have trouble undoing. The easiest way is to download the app for your desktop or just email or airdrop the photo to your phone.

I think your shots of birds are amazing! They are hard to catch at all, for me any who. Do you know what birds are covering for tree? That’s a lot of birds!

I think birds and animals hear that high pitched hum in the camera.Humans have a harder time hearing it but as soon as you turn it on, every creature goes in the other direction. 😉 You did get some great shots in spite of that. I have a friend that build kind of a blind in her yard and sits in it quietly to capture some of the birds. I don’t have that kind of time or patience. 😉
