Feeding the Birds? Yeah, right!

Scott_Quier

Lion's Bridge, Newport News VA - This kid really didn't want to feed the RWW (Rats with Wings). His goal was to chase them. His method - dump a bunch of bread crumbs on the ground and then back off. When the RWW landed to scarf the food, the kid would run into the birds shouting, "BOOO!".:rofl

I went down there to practice shooting birds. This kid changed all those plans and I got these. I think these are a sweeter brand of lemonaide anyway. :thumb

What do you think?

#1 - You can see his bag is still pretty full, about 1/2 what he started with.


#2 - That bad is now empty and is flapping in the breeze. It almost looks like the kid is out to smack the RWW with the bag.

Hi Scott_Quier
Great Photos!
I go to a local park and take photos of the ducks and birds.
Most of the time there is a kid that charges to ducks and makes them
fly while I am there. I guess it is a kid thing and they think it is fun.

Take Care,

Kids will be kids, especially boys!!! Besides...you notice the bread crumbs are gone and the birds still persist! Cute captures, Scott.

Thanks for looking and dropping a note.

Chuck - you're right. This kid really was having a good time. These birds are usually very reliable practice subjects. Usually I get an opportunity to shoot them un-molested. Sometimes not. The kid gave me an opportunity to do something a little different.

saurora - Yeah, I guess it's a boy thing. I've never seen a girl do this. I guess because they have more common sense.

George - Dangerous only on the over-flights.
