Wildlife photography

[Backwoods]

OK, did that. Looked around in the NTC thread -- just a bunch of folks goofing around and having fun. I must be too old because I don't get it. Are you suggesting I post some of my birdie pics on that thread? Maybe a contest of who took the coolest photo or something? Explain please, and use small words cuz I'm sometimes a little dense.

It's actually a good group of people. A lot of us actually know each other and get together 2 or 3 times a year . Probably the most close knit bunch on the forum. Except for HFAWHA

Id have to beg to differ with that! Although you guys are close no doubt about that. I Hate to say, Us original HFA guys have that beat just not as vocal on here as we use to, but our get togethers a year far surpass 2-3 times lol.

You kept mentioning immature birds so I was just telling you where the immature ones nest on this forum.

Ahh, I get it now. I'm not always the brightest bulb in the box.

Continuing on with the raptor theme, I came across a pair of recently released (rehabilitated) juvenile Eastern Red-tailed Hawks last Summer. Because they had been handled by humans during their rehab, they were clearly unafraid of humans. Over the course of several days, I was able to capture phenomenal pics of these otherwise very skittish birds. BTW, let me know if you guys are getting sick of raptors. I can definitely post other birds, like songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, whatever.

Rough-legged Hawk. They're buteos, which puts them in the same "family" as Red-tailed Hawks. They migrate south into the CONUS in late Fall and stay throughout the Winter. I haven't seen any yet this year, but definitely look forward to it. Like Red-tails, they also come in a variety of color morphs.

Any pics of Pileated Woodpeckers?

Headed out the door for work. But here's one to hold you over until I can post a few more later tonight.

Great pics, BTW!

How about a "Peckerwood". I've never seen one, but when I was a cop in Oakland back in the 70's, our customers would refer to them fairly often. Must be indigenous to this country, as they'd most often precede that with, "You's a" - which I assume meant USA.

I was drunk when I came up with HFAWHA. But I've had a drink or 2 it seems when I've came up with every life altering decision lol. But yeah who would of thought it would of stuck like it did. But I've met the best people through it, and we now have friends all over this beautiful country to ride or hang with.

If I had a pic of an Ivory Bill I'd be rich and would already have TWO SxS, like maybe even Pioneer 1000s.
