Slightly Unusual Bird Poses

[sm4him]

This is the kind of thread that people will come back to once in awhile and post things. In fact, I wonder if maybe it should be moved to the Photo Themes section. If you want to pursue that, OP, I'd just check with a mod about moving it.

This weekend, while going through some pictures I'd taken earlier in the week, I saw one that immediately made me think of this thread:

That is one great shot! His feathers almost look soaked, which I thought didn't happen with waterfowl. Thanks for adding.

As far as the themes, I'm a new guy so don't really know what would be best. I think the thread was about to go to sleep until Danny posted his fine shots. Perhaps let it mellow for a while and see what happens? But if you think it should be a theme -- with your much greater experience on TPF, you certainly have my permission (if even needed ) to do whatever.

Thanks, Lee

All your shots are superb! Lee

Thanks Lee...

Most of these have already been posted elsewhere in the forum, so sorry about the repetition if others have already seen some of them, they just fit this thread really well hehe...

here's another eagle who looks a little unhappy with the gull...

That's a great shot! Really looks like that gull is about to have it's tail feathers plucked!

Love how sheepish he looks! Actually reminds me of one of my cats, who also gets that look when she's done something wrong

And yeah, I can see this thread becoming part of Photo Themes and being added to for a long time! I just took some of a swan that I hope come out well enough to post here.

Lee, if you peruse the Photo Themes subforum, you'll find threads that started years ago that still get updated. They'll go in fits and starts. Photo Themes

This thread would fit in perfectly.

I've asked a Moderator about moving this into the Photo Themes. Hopefully that'll happen soon!

In the meantime, here's another favorite of mine, that I posted in my own thread some time ago:

Not really sure if he was waving at me, or giving me a hawk's version of "the finger." :lmao:

Bird problems.... overnight icing!

This little guy was chewing on a "drop" of ice on it's claw that formed overnight I assume since this was taken early in the morning lol

Wow! That is a super shot!

Thanks Sharon for looking into the move -- and it sure didn't take long!

I redid the "feeder fight" shots -- no where near the quality of this but perhaps the PP is toned down a bit. Lee

This was my very first day of taking pictures...and I just got lucky with this! I know there are ways to improve the picture for sure, but can't help but love this guy!
