200 photos, trying to get SOMETHING. Here it is:

Could you please note that the fish the male caught, but I could not photograph is inside the female. Her whole body is shaped like one of those flounder or whatever they are. Naturally it is a butt shot, the birds hate me. They wait til they think I am gone to fly. If they happen to fly when I am there, they fly away from me.

What am I doing wrong. One bird sits on the nest, the other bird sits on another pole waiting for me to leave..........I was there for hours, so I am sure of this. This is a picture of the bird waiting. If he has a photo of me, I am not aware of it.

    I know the feeling Ginger. I figure birds just have a natural animosity towards photographers and do whatever they can to make our lives miserable. There have been a few times when I wished I had a shotgun in my hands instead of a camera.

    The second shot is pretty good so your day wasn't a waste. thumb.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
