My Bird Photography (pic heavy)

[getwozzy]

As promised, here are more of my bird photos, a majority of them are seen in my backyard, but a few were taken while out and about. I do photography as a hobby, using a Canon Rebel t2i (or my iphone4).

***These are MY photos and MY property- if you'd like to use my photo(s), please ask my permission first! Thank you!***

And this morning I was graced with the presence of juvenile Bald Eagle (and was fast enough to grab my camera!); I have also previously seen an adult in the same tree, but was gone before I could pick my jaw up off the ground. Have you ever heard an eagle cry? I have.

WOW, Shirre, what a SWEET treat for us!!!

BEAUTIFUL photos!!!! I could stare at the Great Horned Owl all day long!!!! Owls are one of my favorite birds. Last summer we had one visiting our backyard regularly, but I was never able to figure out what type he was. I'd here the hoo-hoo...hoo-hoo....but was never able to get a clear view of him. He was big, and he took care of the rodents in the yard (due to wild bird food spillage) :54:

Thank you so much for posting these. LOVE them!!!

 

[getwozzy]

Thank you I LOVE taking pictures; I have TONS to share- you should see my Yosemite pictures!!

Owls are FABULOUS at blending in! I've never seen one since that day lol (thanks to the crows making a raucous!)

 

[getwozzy]

This one isn't a photo, but I did draw it (yes, I also draw...lol); it's an osprey...which we also have around here.

Awww thank you!

I like being diverse with my talents, but they're all artistic in some way
My next project is doing wood-burning art and wood carving

Fantastic Shirre!!!...you have got a gift of photography!....and drawing

[Captsteve]

Shirre,

I have been pretty heavy into woodburning for years. If you need any help getting started let me know.

I just finished re-burning and re-finishing a dining room table my father made when he was 16.

The second pic is my tree man.

Thank you!!! Out of that bunch of photos, that's my favorite too- makes me laugh every time lol that day I was sitting in my lawn chair in the summer sun, watching all these little birds go crazy over seeds and suet 5 feet away lol

 

[getwozzy]

I don't want to overload everyone with my photos, but I can post a few more of my photographs tomorrow...? Yay? Nay? (Landscapes and other random cool photos)

Beautiful pictures!
I live on vancouver island. There are sooooo many eagles here. I live on a river as well, so I get to watch as they swoop down and pluck spawning salmon from the river.

Last summer was the first summer with our 12 chickens, and three eagles were hunting a bunch of bunnies behind our house for a week. All our chicken his under our deck for a week. They would start to come out to forage and the. Hear them cry, and all 12 would run for cover again.

We have a heron hunting mice in our field this whole winter, and we get turkey vultures in our field as well.

The picture you drew is amazing! I wish I could draw, I'm not very crafty, but I've been tryin lately

Those wood burning... They render me speechless. Wow.
