I'd guess the poles on either side were pretty closely lined up to support the weight of the top of this pole. I've seen broken poles before being held up by the neighboring poles.

Hmm, someone hit the wrong picture for phones button? Is there such a button? Y'all just don't want me to see pictures of the birds? Oh the humidity of it all.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-05-2017, 06:08 PM

I really don't know anything about this picture, just liked it.

Falcons get to ride in a fancy custom car, but hooded so they don't know it, WTF.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-10-2017, 10:25 AM

But the Falcons are better off than the Canary in it's fancy cage.

They're boids, so here is where I put 'em.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently bought m'self a new camera, a Canon EOS Rebel T6, (I got the Premium Kit w/18-55mm stabilized lens, and 75-300mm lens), and, by far the most impressive feature is start-up time. Many, many, times faster than anything I've owned. Impressive is the word for it.

Representing the start-up speed, here are two pics that I just cannot stop thinking about:

The first pic, the turkey crossing the road, I'll admit, I had the camera in my hand when I saw her (?), but it was off. She ran into the road, I saw her, flicked on my camera, fired off a quick draw shot, and that camera not only came on in time, but, managed to focus (kinda) on what I was taking a picture of. Into the sun, through a filthy windshield, no less. If you've ever seen a turkey with a destination in mind you know that they can cover quite a bit of ground quite quickly. I was fairly amazed it caught the pic as well as it did. I only resized the pic for posting, no editing.

The other pic, crane/egret/heron/wtfe, happened almost the same way except the camera was in the passenger seat, off. When I saw the boid, it was already in flight, in a very shady section of a small creek, about to go around a bend. This pic I sharpened a bit, and darkened just a shade. The camera tends to over-expose a little when photographing brightly lit greenery (shooting in no-flash-auto-mode).

Hmmm...a very shady section of a brightly lit creek...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-21-2017, 05:49 PM

If that camera is so good, why didn't it tell you why the Turkey crossed the road.

Gravdigr · 09-22-2017, 01:27 PM

I didn't ask.
