I am getting a few more ready. Today I did get some decent pics but the bird is only a small part of the total image..still need that longer lens! I believe today's shots will be ok to post and will get those on tonight or tomorrow. The birds seem wary of a camera...I can get closer without the camera to my eye! Who knows why..maybe a person with a huge "eyeball" is not something they are used to. I will see what is ok on today's shots and get them up. The thrill will be getting pics of the baby birds with the parents...to be so fortunate is yet to be seen! They are spending a lot of time taking food to the nest. I do love nature and see thought in all of it...contrary to what some folks believe, we have had enough animals and been around enough to see that they do think and are not simply rote followers of instinct and reaction. Sure, lots of instinct..but figuring stuff out too. Hummm...
