Nice shots. The Meal Worm Diner has a varied clientele.
Yep. Female red-winged blackbird. They visit my feeder often.
Thanks for the lesson on filters. REALLY appreciate it.
What about GIMP? Anyone use that?
Nice shots. If you don't mind sharing, where exactly did you take these? I'm in Akron, too, and would love to see this guy in person ... Richard
Yup, a male House Sparrow.
Great shots! I suggest you submit them (especially #1) for inclusion on whatbird.com bird identification website and iBird mobile identification app. Attached is a pdf file with photo submission guidelines, if you're interested. (This was copied from the iBird Plus app on an iPhone, which included some example photos that didn't copy.) .... Richard
Love the "Shah-i-Zinda Necropolis: Happy school girls on an excursion". Great composition. You really caught the spirit of the moment.
One year when I was a kid, some hornets built their nest against the glass of out enclosed porch. It was so cool to watch the hornets at work inside the nest while safely inside the porch.
Magnificent Great Egret (#2)!!!
Definitely a Barn Swallow. Nice pic!
