Brewers Blackbird

Rohirrim

Dang work has been keeping me from getting out trying to capture any more exciting birds, but I was able to catch this female Brewer's Blackbird in our backyard. Suffering from posting withdrawal I just had to post something

I also captured this very plump California Quail, as you can see the quail have had a good summer :eat

Excellent shots Steve. The quail shot is prime and they make good eating too. :eat


I would sympathize about the work thing but I wouldn't mean it.

Yeah, those darn frogs on the bird water thing kinda ruin that shot

Thanks for the comments Jeff. I dont think its noise, but then again I don't really want it to be noise either . Seriously though, when I first did the PP on that pic I thought I had sharpened it too much, but after looking at it closer it fits the feather detail on that bird from close up. But, I think I will go back and look at it again to make sure when I have a bit more time. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Humungus. It's very nice being able to see all the different critters from all over the world.

Hi Steve,the first shot looks ok on my monitor,although the frogs dont help it.Since we cant get wild animals to move to a better location we takes what we gets.The second shot is realy nice.Ive never seen a Quail that close before,great job on it. ..Mike
