We've gone to this park for years for picnics and play, but this is the first time I've gone with a camera.

This common raven greeted me when I arrived.

Acorn woodpecker pair. I should have had a better depth of field, but they were only there for a few moments.

California towhee, I think. Kind of a drab bird that blends into the dry grass.

Oak titmouse, I think. Kinda blurry because he was *very* active and only hung around for a minute.

Say's Phoebe, I think.

What can I say, it's a rabbit in the morning shade.

It has its ducks in row but doesn't look happy about it.

Very nice.
I think #3 is a Plains Lubber Grasshopper. I recently looked them up for a friend. Those little spotted wings are the distinguishing feature.

Very nice. I know how hard it can be to get good shots of terns. That last one is spectacular!

I shoot both RAW and JPEG at the same time. If I want to quickly share an image by email or social media, JPEGs are ready to go and usually good. My image editing software displays JPEG faster than RAW, so it’s better for quickly scanning through my shots for rating or deleting them. If only simple adjustments are needed, I work from JPEG. If I want to do serious adjustment and cropping, I work from RAW. Adobe’s new Super Resolution works from RAW, so if I think I might want to upscale before heavily cropping, I need to develop from RAW.

I once counted 85 sips in a row before it flew off!

Very sharp and good depth of field. What kind of lens did you use?
