OK, I'm not proud, I'll make the last post of this page cause these are
only OK. I'm still learning this lens. Used a tripod and had the OS
turned off per the instructions.
I'm thinking 1/1000th wasn't fast enough.

It's May 13, 2017 - Global Big Day is here (at least in Costa Rica), time to count birds!
http://ebird.org/ebird/globalbigday
count is already up to 1456 species.
good luck to all those counting.
Masked Woodswallow, from Australia (not on the list yet!)
first species recorded for the Global Big Day - Maned Duck (a male shown here, from Australia)

Standing on the patio I had huge lizard run right over my feet and into the garage at warp speed. That was odd I thought to myself. Then I turned my head and saw the answer.

Happy House Wren...
I always think of them as plump little things but they know how to stretch
when they're singing.

RE Tony's Fork-tailed Storm Petrel: In the many years I lived in the Bay Area (Avenues in SF and Berkeley) I don't think I ever heard of and certainly never saw any Petrels in the bay. I wasn't much of a birder back then, though.
As always thanks and in awe of all the post. Cool Tattler!
These are from this Spring all in Montlake fill in Seattle and would have to fall under the catagory of OK photos of very common birds, at best.

Golden-crowned Sparrow.
Marsh Wren. Cheery sounding little effers.
Savanah S. One of the first signs of Spring here.

Should have some good birds to post in a few weeks after our (Yvonne, Darwin, and me) trip to Adak in the Aleutians. The last few days it has been crawling with Bramblings plus an Eyebrowed Thrush, Yellow and White Wagtails. Laysan Albatross from land. Glad we have an East Asian birds book.
Around here, our local Osprey nest is coming along. Here is a screenshot while the second chick was only partway out of its egg. The mother was removing part of the broken egg.
Here is a video clip from then. The background track is the wine tasting bar below with live music.

This is the two nestlings being fed yesterday. They are progressing well. It will be amazing to see them when we return 3 weeks from now.

Man I love this thread!
That broad tailed HB is wild!
a link if you didn't know about it (but I'm sure most of you do)
http://avibase.bsc-eoc.org/avibase.jsp
So I'm headed back home (truckee) in 2 weeks for the summer.
With all the snow I'm curious how the birds have been up in that area.
Willoughby I know you're around those parts, any noticeable change this year so far?
Hey Mouse, you may not know this but that rock pigeon you have there is the most widespread, common bird on the planet-supposedly...they're like flying rats around here.

Mike Bolte, back with a bang! You are the man for raptors in flight.
Can't wait to see the photos from Tony and Darwin's Adak adventure. You must have run into a few BIg Year birders, or are you doing a Big Year?
Great backyard birds StalBro, I can see you're always ready with the camera.
Of course Donini's condor trumps all comers, if that was a backyard bird.
I'll be posting Australian birds for years to come, still not done editing photos.
