this guy explained it so i could understand. I've been using it ever since. At the end of the video he goes thru the menus of 2 Nikons to show how to set it up.

Sandhill Cranes in Iowa

Was lucky enough to see and hear these birds. Their calls are amazing. The sunset photo is mainly Canada Geese, but there are Sandhill Cranes in that photo too.

Hawk ID please

My guess would be a red tailed hawk. the tail itse... (show quote)

I'm a few hours north of the Quad Cities, I'm right on the Iowa/Minn border. It's grey out today but above freezing so I think it's a great day for Iowa in Feb.
There are a lot of Red Tailed Hawks in this area and a fer Rough-Legged Hawks. I'm leaning towards a Red Tail, but he was just so small.
thanks for your help

Hawk ID please

I'm thinking it's a Cooper's Hawk, but unsure. He is slightly larger then a crow. It was taken yesterday in northern Iowa. When i google Cooper's Hawk i get some images that look like him and some that don't.
thanks for your input in advance...dave

Photographing stained glass windows

Here is one from my church. I took in in the afternoon when the sun was settting. I had the indoor lights off and no flash, I did use a tripod. The window is on a west wall. The photos from the other walls were not as good.

Snowy Owl

several pairs within a 20 to 40 miles from me. It's been a challenge to find one. They really blend in to the snow on the harvested corn fields here. Taken close to the Iowa/Minn border. D7100, with sigma 150-500 and cropped. Hope to get close to one so the image quality is better

SX50 Help

Try pressing the DISP button beside the Menu button on the back. It cycles thru the options of viewfinder or LCD.

I need your help, The sx50 is pretty new to me and I was playing with the dials and my lcd monitor does not work, I have went thru the manual and I cannot find the answer. What did I do. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

White Pelican and GBH fighting over a fishing spot

Thanks Linda....I never see pelicans here this time of year, mostly see them as they fly north in the spring. A few have been hanging out here this summer.

Super shots! Even though I've seen both birds, I just didn't realize how much larger the pelican is - and the GBH is already a big one. Amazing!
