You mean the rule of aerodynamics, or whatever wing spread the bird needs to stay up there? .


At least you have a bird, or mostly a bird, where I went today, I saw three birds. I was so hot and tired, from what I thought was excrutiating heat, but only a heat index of 95. The birds and I must have that August thing: it feels hot, kind of a buildup of lots of hots. And I know it is 9/1, but I don't want to think about it. Maybe they all leave on 9/1 come to think of it. That would be terrible.

I was there to find these hunting raptors............I don't think I would see one unless it were two feet in front of me, and then only maybe. All those trees, and tall stumps. I looked up, and I looked down. I did not get one decent bird shot, and I certainly didn't see any raptors.

Nice BIF, Ben,

Take off the tele-converter ...buddy. That poor bird is going to crash without his wings. I know what you mean. I have a few "rule breakers" that I kind of like. I would have liked to see the full wings and all this bird's feathers in their full glory. I'm starting to think this is not just a Nikon thing...but a Cali ...thing. Surf's up!

Hey Ben,

Thats an effective shot. Its nice to have all of the bird in the frame but its not mandatory. Nice job.

Where the butterflys are.

You are a miracle worker, Ben. Taking birds apart and putting them back together. Of course you did it well as far as composition was concerned.

**breakin' the law**





**full framers**

Ooopps. Pilot of a 4 engine prop plane comes over the intercom system.

"We've lost power to one of our engines. Nothing to worry about...but our flight will be delayed about 15 minutes.

** 20 minutes later pilot comes back on the intercom**

I'm sorry to say...we've lost power to another engine and our flight will be delayed about a half hour now".

** about 45 minutes later...pilot makes another announcement**

" We've just lost power to a 3rd engine and I'm sorry to say that our flight will be delayed almost an hour due to loss of available power".

** passanger of a certain ethnic background says**

"If that last engine goes out...we'll be up here all day".

Reminds me of your birds, Ben.
