these are so great. coincidently I was shooting a Night Heron in a tree and it elongated and did a big squirt. But I was too shy to capture his stream of relief. I am glad someone out there had the guts. And then to see the somewhat embarassed expression on Mom's face! I love it! and the kid following suit. Wow you are one lucky (and slightly sick ) guy!

Well Mike at 76 I'm still fair but as one other poster put it, Lou you are a RED NECK PHOTOGRAPHER Hey just wait one day to get hit by it as you stand at the bottom of an eagle nest getting ready for a banding of young eaglets. Heck I saw it turn a Nikon lens into a white canon one trip HA_HA_HA

Lou, these are hilarious and good pictures to boot. I love the captions as well. I am glad you were at a safe distance!

Well Chris some days you get lucky and all comes out OK When I downloaded I saw the bursts from several and I just sat back and laughted and said I just gotta play. My buddy has an epson 7600 printer and wants me to make a poster out of it but I don't know if my neck is that red He wants to put it on Canvas. I have to give this some though as I do have a show coming up in October
Hey thanks for the look
Lou
Boy, that's some projectile Mom shot out! Must have strong muscles you-know-where Seems like the nestlings are born with knowing not to foul the nest; I noticed that when I watched the Red-tail nest a few years back. Good shots (literally) and captions, Lou.

Thanks Steve and not just that part but also that is one of the reasons they build with sticks, (good drainage). Most raptors will also keep gathering fresh hay, pine or Helmlock branches to line the nest and help keep the young off the bottom. I have watched eagles do it by gathering hay from a horse stall at a near by stable.
The owner used to sit on his porch and watch as they would come regular after the young had hatched. I hate to tell you this but my buddy back a few years ago when I was doing banding with them (DEC) was almost to the nest after a long climb of about 100 feet when I saw one of the young stick his buttt over the edge and as I hollowed up to Scott to watch out he looked up and I'll leave the rest to you. I will say we still all rember the band that was put on that bird that day, V00
will always be remembered.

this is hilarious Lou - great timing and sequences.
Thank you Thang, I really did not know I had all these untill I downloaded as there were several bursts from my 1dm2n but when I did see all those raws showing this I just knew I had to play. I was lucky they came as well as they did as the weather here on the Cape has been hot and hazy. This is one of many that I have been watching for the Mass Audubon and the second with triplets.
