Today's adventure

[NV Whino]

I went back to Berryessa to check on the ospreys. They were lying low… or flying high. No one was cooperating. This fine fellow, however, opted to give me hell from a tree.


And a couple of squirrelly friends tried to blend into the rocks.


Then I went to check on a client's house and found this little lady grooming and sunning herself on the side deck.


I sneaked out the back door to see if I could get a better shot. She was having none of that and hot footed down the path away from me. It's turkey season in these here parts in case you wanted to know.

1. These are very nice, and they show the action beautifully!

Hot-footed is right! You caught her in mid-stride and it's a great action shot!

2. Love the first one!

& 3rd one.

5. Yeah, I like that crow.

I have no idea why he was so upset. I was just sitting there quietly enjoying the view and a nice breeze.

6. Love them all....but I am partial to crows/ravens.

That is a great picture.

But seriously, you thought you could get a better picture of the turkey? But I do love her strutting away from you.

7. I was shooting through the glass door

Thought maybe I could get a better whole body shot with. Her head up.

8. I knew what you meant you were hoping for.

From my experience, it was pretty funny to hope for it. That is a nice close up, even through the window.

Then again, you did a great job with the crow/raven, so you might have had good luck.

9. I think it's called good lens

And don't get me wrong. I was thrilled to get that shot through the door.
