Early Bird gets the Worm

bochie

This little guy was invading the prairie dog's teritory.
It seems that the prairie dog was still sleeping so the Black-Necked Stilt has his day.
All pictures taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Macro Super II

This place is all mine !


What's That Wiggling ?


I See You

Interesting capture. A bird "out of water", so to speak.

(That bird looks like a water bird, that is why I said that)

Really good set.

bochie

Thanks everybody.
I am pretty lucky that the bird allow me to get that close.

Ginger,
I did not know that the stilt is a water bird.
I took this picture at our local zoo.
No exciting bird sanctuary here

Skippy,
I know, the stilt must've catched at least 3 - 4 worms that morning.
I did not see the prairie dog at all. Probably not that interested in worms

Thanks Ben,
I did not know that butt shot is huge around here
I'll post more gratuitous butt shot in the future

Bochie,
It's not the we really enjoy bird butt shots that much, it's just that most of us get so many of them, we feel obliged to share....lol

Nice shots of this pretty shorebird I was sort of wondering why he needed to worry about prairie dogs though (and also why he was banded). Now that you mention that these were shot in a zoo, it all makes sense

Excellent series. I really like how nicely you captured the stilt's eye in your shots.

Nice sharp shots with good color. #1 is my favorite.

bochie

Thanks Harry,
The controlled environment in the zoo makes it easier for me

Thanks Mark,
In the first picture, he was interested in me and got closer.

Great set. Number one is very sharp. The eye is amazing in it. Nice job.
