These are two different photos I shot today. The background photo is of a mangrove lagoon area in a place called Pelican Bay. The bird is a large Great White Egret which I photographed in a different location called Sebastian Inlet State Park. He was wading along the water line near the inlet. WE all can make a difference, in the preservation of our natural resources. I’ve also applied the Orton Effect to this image.

I was sitting on this Turkey Vulture waiting to capture a typical Vulture launch from this tree stub when, KA-POW!... , a Red Shouldered Hawk swooped down and knocked this Vulture off his branch. I was stunned to see this same hawk do it again seconds later. / Nothing like good neighbors on the street I guess!

A flock of Black Bellied Whistling ducks came to town this week and boy do they keep busy flying around in circles…

The startling colours in this shot are accurate and it was double checked with the reference shot. (The Nikon D80 can make a completely flat RAW file at the same time as it takes JPGs. It’s an ideal way to check if you’ve goofed a white balance somewhere. It also tells you if you went bizarre with the enhancements in an editing program.) Not sure why the dead reeds were so red but I know why the reflected sky was so blue: the colour was doubled because of the crystal clear sky and the blue of the water. When the Nikon is set for VIVID, the blues go crazy at times but not this time. However, the white balance was trashed once again but the reeds and had to be corrected in Adobe. This is from the set of shots just before Big Bird here approached the water plants where he spied and captured the huge shellfish.

The last time I came to the Vic Fazio Wetlands, the blackbirds were plentiful when I asked the ranger what type they were. Unfortunately, “plentiful” in my opinions wasn’t the actual condition, she told me, and both the tri-coloured and red-winged varieties were struggling to survive in Northern California. Where I saw tens of thousands, there should have been millions, making my shooting of them as individuals completely impossible that day. This weekend however, the numbers were significantly higher, tho I’m not sure if that was because there were simply more about or more surviving this year. Having just the 70-300mm telephoto lens available for a while, I concentrated upon the task of getting some good shots of them while I could. Tri-Coloured Blackbirds aren’t very consistant in their HTL’s (human tolerance levels, or how much trouble a subject gives me when I want a shot and it knows it. ;-) ). They were either flock so close that, when they take wing, you’re both dazzled and discomforted or they will spook 100 yards away and fly back to the same spot even if you’re closer than before. LOL! Individuals seems to have different HTL’s too: some will stay close when you stay in the vehicle, and some will spook no matter what. The only consistency I could find was that all the females spooked all the time. One thing is of note and I won’t be embarrassed if it’s pointed out that I am dead wrong on this. There are two types of blackbirds in my area: the tri-coloured ones and the red-winged ones. That’s not too complicated until you find that both have three colours and both have red wing chevrons. Better yet, the colour that’s not in common – yellow or white – is in a subspecies of the ones the species with the yellow. Great. Added to the fact that I’m ‘bird ignorant’ and colourblind, both birds look alive to the computer as well. (sigh) So if someone knows the distinguishing feature(s) that make a positive identification possible between these two trickster feathered monsters, please share the info and I’ll make labeling adjustments as needed. Thanks! :-)

I took a very short trip back to the Vic Fazio/Yolo Bypass Wildlife Refuge this morning at dawn. I had no photography planned for this weekend so the urge just smacked me upside the head. Less than 20 minutes from home, this large wetlands is home or a stopping place for millions of birds. (It is also the stopping place for some of their bodies if they fly over the ‘hunting permitted’ area but I digress – as usual.) There’s almost always a vehicle or 20 in there so some of the resident wildlife seems to have reached a state of detente with humans and their noisy, smelly, intrusive means of transportation. I should have realized that when I drove over a Savannah Sparrow who was too busy to be bothered with moving as my van straddled his tiny brave self. (See elsewhere in my gallery) So, I came prepared with my 2-ton, 6.5 foot tall white van, knowing I would just blend in to the environment. Sounds asinine except look at this shot. Last time, I got out of the van and did the sloooooooooow creep/walk to get within good shooting range of a hawk. Worked about as well as inviting it to dinner at a pool party: one annoyed look at me and gone when I was more than 100 yards away but in plain sight. Spot a nice big guy this time and roll down the window halfway as I drive past (about 100 yards again) and head into the opposite side of the parking lot where he’s perched on a very low sign. Turn around and aim the van as if I’m going to pass within about 10 feet of the bird, take my foot off the gas, and let it slowly idle forward at about 3 mph. Take a deep breath because I know this makes no sense, brace the barrel of the Nikon D80’s 70-300mm lens in the corner between the windowsill and the window, and “stalk” my prey. Well, what the [censored]! Would you believe I had to hit the brakes of I might have gotten too close to shoot it telephoto? His back was to me and I know hawks can’t see directly behind their heads but the old boy just glanced at me a couple times and sat there – less than 15 feet away. I was afraid to turn off the van or even set the park brake so I shifted into neutral and waited for him to turn around. And waited. And waited. Cars are now gathering in the opening of the lot watching this little spectacle and I STILL waited for more than a casual glance over the shoulder! I got at least 50 shots of the back of his head thinking he’d HAVE to at least get curious but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I turned off the van and said “turn around”. Nada, and I don’t know how to say it in hawkese. I snapped my fingers. Nada. Now I thinking I have the only deaf rapture on the planet and I can’t get a shot of his freakin’ face! I don’t know how to whistle. Could be the lips, tongue, or lack of coordination. Who knows? But I managed a weak ‘tweet” and the damned bird probably thought I brought him BraveHeart Savannah Sparrow for a snack so he turned around and this is what I saw. Slightly less than curiousity, slightly more than boredom… If a hawk can raise an eyebrow, this one did it. He remained facing me until I finished taking a score of portraits then turned back the other way as if I was the last thing on his mind. I think I was because he didn’t bother to turn and say ‘goodbye’ when I started the van and drove off. As I was leaving, there was a line of cars waiting to drive by. I can’t decide whether I hope he was annoyed or proud to be pestered. Beautiful, powerful, majestic, brave, damned birdbrain. PS After all that time I still couldn’t tell if he was a Swainson’s, Red-tailed, or Red-shouldered since he didn’t bother with opening his wings too. / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ / The Bucket List: / Nikon D80 / 70-300mm lens / f-stop: 5.6 / Exposure 1/320 / Metering mode: pattern / Focus setting for wide and dynamic (in case it moved) / Auto focus setting was continuous at first then single servo to save batteries / due east / No birds were injured in this photography session. / No tripod; I used a 2.5 ton white elephant instead / Shot on full auto (I know but I was somewhat rattled, ya know?) / Can’t tell if it’s male or female.
