I was able to capture this Black-Crowned Night Heron sitting on her nest with three bluish looking eggs. The quality isn't great. I took the photo with a cell phone attached to a spotting scope while I was out at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve in California.

A photo I took while at Point Lobos State Natural Reserve in California of a mother Black Crowned Night Heron and her chicks. I spotted four nest with nesting Black Crowned Night Herons. The eggs are a pale pastel blue color. Beautiful Bird.

We were in Central Oregon and saw quite a few Bald Eagles. One of the eagles looked like either a Golden Eagle or a Juvenile Bald Eagle. Can anyone help me identify this beautiful bird. Thank you.

[Check out Eagle Optics. They have great prices and excellent customer service.
quote=jeep_daddy]I just upgraded my binoculars to a much larger heavier pair and want to invest in a good strap. My old binocs had a good Optec strap that went around my neck but they were swinging around a lot and banged up against things often leaving the outsides of them looking less than new. I don't want the new binocs swinging around my neck so I was thinking about a harness. But my biggest concern is that my camera strap, a Black Rapid, will cause interference with the binocular harness strap or vise verse.
Any advise on which harness works well with binocs and if they will cause some interference with a Black Rapid sling strap?

Amazing photos. Quite incredible that we have visited every planet in our solar system including the dwarf planet Pluto.

If you are going as far south as Santa Cruz, drive down to Point Lobos State Reserve just south of Carmel near Monterey. Well worth the drive. Point Lobos has been said to be the most spectacular meeting of land & sea. You won't be sorry. I have been a docent there for the past five years and it is my favorite place to go. Excellent photo opportunities.

Very nice. I will try those settings with my SX50 and try to get a decent Moon shot.

Just thought I'd share this moon shot I took last night from my back porch.
Taken with my Canon SX 50 HS. Manual focus. Maximum optical zoom.
I wonder what I would have gotten with digital zoom.
Although not the best, I wish I had used this camera for the Supermoon/Eclipse.

Thank you for the suggestions. I will give it a try and try posting my results.

I cannot get a clear shot of the moon. It was a full moon the other night and I could not get the camera to focus or get the exposure correct. Any suggestions. Thanks.

These made me smile and reminded me of the time when I found five baby possums trying to steal dog food. All five were standing in the bowl, which made it impossible to get to the food beneath them :-D
