I love wildlife photography, but I refuse to become a birder who totes around gigantic lenses and a tripod everywhere I go. I refuse to wear a Tamron backpack, or be part of a group of people shooting the same thing at the same time from a slightly different angle as the people next to me. So for bird photography, luck, creativity, and a bit of cropping will have to suffice.
This couple keep my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin up at night with their nocturnal shrieking sessions. I like nature, but I like my sleep even more. How many birds have gone extinct from keeping people awake at night? There have to be at least a few species who have been selected out of the gene pool in this way...
My sister said that I should climb the tree and try and retrieve an owl egg because it would make a good picture. I agreed, but suggested that my cousin should do it to let me take pictures of the action. There was a time when I could have gotten her to do it in exchange for the right amount of candy. Sadly, those days are past.
Great shot, Adam! I'll bet they keep everyone up at night, but I wonder if they also keep the feral cat and badass rat population under control?
beautiful nocturnal. nocturnal of human form are just as noisy LOLz hmmm did you aunt & uncle consider making their bedroom soundproof? ;P
the photo turned out awesome! wish you would have gone up there, i bet they would have divebombed your ass.
