Bird in Flight
YES! Finally! This bird has been hanging around my house for weeks and I never have my camera ready… He walked right up to my ferns to eat bugs while I was sitting on my porch… I very quietly got up and grabbed my camera! This is a quick edit! But I was just so excited to show off that I finally got pictures of this bird!
Taken aboard NAS Belle Chasse just outside of New Orleans!
Nikon D40x… Stock lens (I had no time to grab the other one!!) :)
