The Birds are Out

avatar
(Edited)

Can you hear it, it can start as early as 4am. The chirp chirp chirping. I wonder why they wake up so so early? Typical feathered friends I guess. I made a trip out to our local pond, and it was alive with plenty of action. All sorts of birds out and about. Big ones, small ones, and some in between sizes too. It took about 10 photos to get that first shot, the camera kept on focusing on those long cattails. Finally got a decent photo in focus to show you. I really enjoy photographing birds, and I would like to get into it more actually. This is the reason why I purchased the sigma zoom lens. Sure is heavy to lug around though! Looking forward to showing you more photos in the near future!

Although the range map shows that these guys live nearby, I have never seen one. I did a post today about Red Wing blackbirds. There are plenty of those here!

They are called cattails, usually found beside a pond or small lake.

Amazing photographs, especially the first one! Such a wonderful-looking bird. It is strange, here where I live, we are heading toward winter and the birds are so shy this time of year. I also resonate with the 4 am birds calling! I woke up at that time for many years to head to work, and there was one bird that made a specific noise, when I hear it I get a strange nausea.

In any case, thanks for sharing these wonderful photographs!

It's a lovely colored bird, look at that shot. Beautiful, even after the zoom in the first picture, it still looks amazing.

That's a great shot of the bird! I can see why the camera didn't want to focus on the bird. Color shots take the day one this one, very pretty yellow. Any idea what kind of bird it is?
