Camera-Critters #125
Friday, August 27, 2010
Twice this week, and I think it may have even been two days in a row, I saw "big birds" that I wish I could get closer to in order to properly photograph them. The first "big bird" was huge, and I took several terrible shots of it (because I was far away from it), just so I could come home, put them on the computer, and figure out what the bird was. I think I've determined that it's an owl, but what kind of owl I have no idea. It was a gloomy day (which would be why the owl was still out), I was across the pond from the bird, and when I started to cross the pond, it flew. Therefore, I only got crappy "what is this bird?" photos. Therefore, you will not see those photos. LOL
The next "big bird" was definitely one I recognized. It, also, was across the pond from me, but I had better lighting conditions. I wasn't able to get a shot I really like, but I'm not too disappointed with the photos I did get. So, I decided to share one with you...

Very nice. I'm glad you got this one. I usually see them when I'm driving or something, and there's no way to get even a bad picture. I really should just stop. But I don't, and I always figure they'll fly away before I can get back.
I love those big round hay bales, too.
I am looking forward to winter and the return of the raptors to our area. Most are gone now, I guess they go on summer vacation like the people.
Very nice feel to this picture.

I love the perspective with the hay bale!
Hawks are some of my favorite subjects. I need to get out and get more shots of them. 8v)
