Nice photo. What kind of bird?
ReplyDeleteI believe an egret. I'll add other photos and try to identify everything (including a raccoon) after we return home.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. You need a long lens and the Genuine Fractals plug-in.
ReplyDeleteKen, Yes, I think the photos are pretty pathetic. But Carolyn gave me the Nikon ED50 field scope for Christmas, so I'm hoping for some better photos in the future. Not familiar with "the Genuine Fractals plug-in," however. "Smoothness control to minimize artifacts when resizing from a small source file" (from http://www.ononesoftware.com/products/perfect-resize/?gclid=CJWPrKP9kaYCFddA2god9UW5pwK) sounds good!
ReplyDeleteGood job! Try Bosque Del Apache just outside Socorro (Debby Caldwell's old and new home).
ReplyDeleteDean, glad to learn where Deb is now. I'll look her up on Facebook.
