Great pictures Peg Leg.............That Flickr.com seems like a nice picture hosting program. Is it free? I think I'll try it. Yesterday these two birds came up to our bird feeder from the pond in the back yard and I took these shots. I think birds are amazing to watch. I'm not sure if they are in the Egret Family or Heron Family.   |

Pegleg, great pictures! I particularly loved the turkey vultures on the road and the "pelican & the shadow" shots

Great pictures Peg Leg.............That Flickr.com seems like a nice picture hosting program. Is it free? I think I'll try it. After looking at your photos, I was going to suggest it, but I see you've already started to use it. Great! As you've found it is free, for up to 200 photos. There is a premium membership that allows unlimited photos, but I'm not sure of the fee. Check out the free "Flickr Uploadr" software- it makes it easy to load new photos. Yesterday these two birds came up to our bird feeder from the pond in the back yard and I took these shots. I think birds are amazing to watch. I'm not sure if they are in the Egret Family or Heron Family. These are beautiful shots. It's hard to get tight closeups like that. Did you use a telephoto lens? What camera? I couldn't find these birds in the little guidebook I have, nor via a google search. Maybe a new species???  You get to name them!!  |

Pegleg, great pictures! I particularly loved the turkey vultures on the road and the "pelican & the shadow" shots Thanks. I've been trying to get a closeup of these vultures (they have ugly, featherless, red heads). This shot was through the car window, as close as I could get before they scattered. I have been closer, but without a camera handy. They have a 3-4 foot wing span. It's fascinating to watch them glide in circles, sometimes 5-10, or more, at a time. Never saw anything like that in the BX. |

Never saw anything like that in the BX. When we first moved out to NJ, my wife saw Wild Turkeys on the road, and i didnt believe her -- gave her the "you sure you weren't drinking Wild turkey" speech LOL |

They just crows down here in Texas..... Yeah... I heard all about y'all Texans.... BTW, where are you located in Texas? I spent a little time in Houston and San Antonio. I kinda liked San Antonio, and thought about it as a possible retirement locale, but my wife used up one of her vetoes ... we hit hail, torrential downpours and flooding when I tried to show her SA. |
