Bushy Tail Birds?

OK, Missy, I out of your yard!
|
|
|
Notice photo #1 and think about those squirrel proof feeders. This guy would just hang from the top and eat all he wants!
I sicked Missy after these varmits ... there were two on the ground ... and they left ... for a little while. The only way to get rid of them is to not to fill the feeders. So I just take photos of them.

Black Tree Monitor

The black tree monitor would spit out a 5" tongue. I wasted several photos trying to get the tongue, but it was too fast!

Zoo
|
|
My recent visit to the zoo had a few more photos that I would like to share.
I finally added a new computer with larger monitor and lots of disk space. Makes editing the photos so much easier. I find this is the hardest part ... selecting which photo to show and how to present it.

Bird Feeding?
|
 |
|
How did I do that?

Bushy Tail Bird!
|
|
|
The first photo shows a bird that must have really been hungry! Look close, he is inside the feeder.
The second photo shows a really strange bird ... one with a bushy tail!

Birds Feeding
|
|
The birds have found my new feeders. The cardinals came into and I shot thru the back door window. Even cleaned the window, inside and out!
The mystery bird landed in my backyard, but I saw it as it flew away. It must have been 12"-18" tall ... it was huge! Found it purched in a tree two houses away! Guess it must be a hawk looking for lunch!

Merry Christmas to me!
|
|
I treated myself to a new lens. This is my first time to play with it. Welcome to my back yard.
This 300mm lens really does make the background out of focus.

I attacked the local Amazon again and found an abundance of subjects ready to have their photos captured.

African Safari

I've been really busy preparing for my African Safari. What a time I had! Flying to the southern tip of Africa and journeying up the dangerous waters of that white river. You just can't believe it!
Ok, so I just stopped in at the local zoo and shot a few pictures of the monkeys. A guy can dream can't he? In fact, one of the first task to get ready for such a trip would be to practice taking photos of the animals at the local zoo.
Actually, I should not belittle the local zoo. The St Louis Zoo is one of the best in the country and I am really lucky that it is only takes a few minutes to get to it. Also it is free!
I was sitting on a bench in front of the baboons and checking some stuff with my camera when I looked up and saw this baboon sitting in his cage make faces at me! This shot was the one I liked the best.
