Lol yes, I think they are responsible for those reports of huge pterodactyl type beasts in the sky. If you see them flying overhead and they’re backlit by the sun, it’s easy to imagine a pterodactyl!

I agree. I’m just trying to get a reaction!

Mostly lighting and tight focus in on a small area of the bird gives a different perspective. If I showed you a picture of the whole bird, you wouldn’t focus in on the areas that you’re looking at in this crop, accenting its whiskers and fine delicate feathers!

Good size, versatile for close and farther out targets!

Definitely a blue jay. We’re in eastern Canada, and this is our blue jay. The white you are seeing is on its breast, as this is extreme closeup. It has blue back and wings.

Hi Joyce, I used a Canon 5Dsr and a Canon L series 300mm lens.

Portrait of a Blue Jay It looks wise I think. Reminds me of Yoda! #birds #nature #photograpy #wildlife

You could be right! All depends how the feed algorithms work and what happens when you like a certain pic. And, this is a new app. Lots of fine tuning as it grows.

Yeah, that’s bad stuff. Hollywood would use it to kill people in movie scenes!

Great Blue Heron #4 So, my top 3 performing pics (on likes) are all heron pics, and I'm definitely getting the hint. This group likes herons! Here's another. If you guys like this one too, I'll try to follow up with more! #birds #nature #photography #wildlife #heron

Bald eagle slaking it's thirst. Seems it might have a drinking problem with all that dribbling going on! LMAO I wonder if lips 💋 might be helpful in this situation? 🤣 #birds #nature #eagle #wildlife #photography

Atlantic Fury My favourite wave pic, taken during a storm blowing on the south shore of #novascotia, December 2020. 4-5 meter swells pounded the rocks for hours. This was taken at a safe distance using a telephoto lens. #photography #atlantic #storm

He’s certainly muddy lol!

I’m usually using camera. I find video requires a tripod for wildlife, and it’s getting too much to haul on a field trip.

Irish dancing of course! Hilarious to watch! Actually I think it’s landing from a sort of long, wing supported “hop” across the pond.

My apologies for the poor image quality of this pic, but I'm posting it as evidence, to debunk the myth that herons look like dinosaurs! Rubbish! I've never heard of anything so ridiculous! #birds #heron #nature #novascotia

Careful, I’ve got a full deck of cards here!

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting!

Great Blue Heron Another shot of this bird from the same session as posted earlier. #birds #heron #nature #wildlife #photography #novascotia

Yes I got a fantastic start with the heron shots I posted early on! Going to be a tough slog to top that. Folks like herons here I guess!

You may have a leucistic bird. You don’t have any pics showing the bill shape/size? That would be helpful to narrow down the possibilities.

Not for a while. To-do item!

I love your comment and it gives my joy. If my pic lifts up your day a bit, my mission is complete! Thanks so much for sharing, and be happy!

I certainly understand that. At its worst I carried the 5d body and 150-500mm Sigma around. Must be over 10 pounds!

Yep. Be on your port side in that pic!

First, I’ve got a 7 year archive at my disposal, so it’s not like I’m darting out every morning to shoot new pics and post my results by supper 😆. I did many weekend road trips to make these!

Thank you. But alas, it’s not my art. I just took the picture.
