Birds @ Como Lake

gmachine19 · 07-03-2010

Not too busy today at Como lake. The weather was overcast, and the osprey that I've been hunting for a while has disappeared. So heres a bunch of common birds.

The great contortionist

Pigeon

Goose Chick

Teen Mallard

Thanks for looking.

Common birds maybe but you captured them beautifully...My fav is the pigeon in flight.

Shoot what is available, sometimes the regulars get overlooked.
I do not even have a pigeon shot yet.

Like the canada geese one

Plus the pigeon coming in for a landing

Good collection well done, recently I was counting the number of species that I have ticked & photographed here in Arabia, I then realized that I had totally ignorned most of our local residents. So I say get what you can when you can and you have already made a start.

The Goose Chick is may favorite.

Thanks for sharing

The Pigeon shot is my fav. I agree go for the good shot. (even of common) Some times your best shot is when you have given up.

Thanks for all your comments. I can't believe how tame this guys are. They we're literally 1m away from me. This is the first time I'm birding that I found my 70-300mm too big.
