March 13th

Call this the every 7th day sq shot.

  • March 26th<br /> <br /> More dead stuff.
  • March 25th<br /> <br /> We have flowers!!!
  • March 24th<br /> <br /> This guys been hanging around a couple days (on my computer) decided to make him useful.
  • March 23rd<br /> <br /> This Mocker shot has some issues but I prefer it to other cleaner shots I got. Clean=boring as in grey bird with grey BG sitting on rebar.
  • March 22nd<br /> <br /> Turt on a snag..Or.. Jurassic Park
  • March 21st<br /> <br /> Our 'almost' national bird:-) Only the 2nd time seeing these guys in the wild.<br /> <br /> Group shot of the little darlings below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/1/137621539/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/1/137621539/Large</a>
  • March 20th<br /> <br /> Sq Day.... She is probably humming Favorite Things.<br /> <br /> Sq shot getting pretty slim, they are starting to molt so look like a bunch of bad rugs.<br /> <br /> Ohio Andrea:-)
  • March 19th<br /> <br /> BJ portrait..,meaning I lopped the boys tail off:-)
  • March 18th<br /> <br /> Its a Scaup and best guess a Lesser Scaup. Smaller than mallards and stupid fast in flight with no real rhyme or reason to their flight pattern. Real funny guys to watch.<br /> <br /> For George, Sqs <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2300686#136795165">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2300686#136795165</a>
  • March 17th<br /> <br /> Coot, the feet on these guys are just nuts! They were coming up on land in huge groups, never have seen that before and like Don said with feet like that he'd stay in the water too.:-) Toned down the one rock just a smig for G.
  • March 16th<br /> <br /> What in the world? First thoughts when Don an I saw these guys at the back of the Fish Hatchery:-)<br /> <br /> The FH is huge. If we would have come in from the actual entrance it would have been a 1/2 mile walk back to the swamp/wooded area where the wood duck usually hang out. Instead of wood duck all tucked back in we find domestic Muscovy ducks.
  • March 15th<br /> <br /> Really like the BG:-)
  • March 14th<br /> <br /> Almost.....spring
  • March 13th<br /> <br /> Call this the every 7th day sq shot.
  • March 12th<br /> <br /> I just like this one:-)<br /> <br /> Close up duckie in flight below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2287384/1/135286278/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2287384/1/135286278/Large</a>
  • March 11th<br /> <br /> Would you be quiet Fred, your embarrassing me.<br /> <br /> Yea a goose, sometimes ya just gotta love the light:-) This guy was a hoot and the more he threw a hissy the more his mate slunk down. Shot through a dead rush, which is the funky spot on her wing, wasn't paying attention, darn.
  • March 10th<br /> <br /> Red-winged Blackbird, their song is one of the glorious sounds of spring.
  • March 9th.<br /> <br /> This shot about tops it for me, a mink! Rare in these parts and rarely seen, in fact my 2nd ever. He popped into his den right after this shot and yea I wish it was a better shot, take one of these anyway I can get it.<br /> <br /> The WL so far, and it isn't even good weather yet, Sharp-Shinned and RTH's, Kestrels, N. Harriers, GBH, 3 species of ducks, songbirds are rolling in, mink, muskrats (boy do those go together) Killdeer. Something new everyday. Gull and C geese, but every mud puddle in Ohio has the latter. I'm probably missing something in this list. Dawes Arboretum now has a WL and the eagles are back nesting at the Fish Hatchery!
  • March 8th<br /> <br /> Doves in my favorite tree.<br /> <br /> I love snow and the photo ops that come with it. It is also the time I really like to use the 300mm and this time with the TC for a bit more reach..Works great as long as everything is relatively still:-)
  • March 7th<br /> <br /> A bit of humor. New gull sport at the wetlands, fish flipping. Someone got the bright idea to stock the WL with bluegill, fine and good till we had the big freeze.<br /> <br /> More noise in this than I like but that is human error:-)

    John, thank you. I'm using the 400 f5.6L Canon here, wonderful lens when I hold up my end of the deal:-)

    excellent expression. btw, what type of lens are you using for these shots -- the sharpness and richness in detail is superb

    lol, this is a real "hang in there" shot . . . or the expression right before, "Hey! Watch this!"
