Hide Takahashi Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Northern Flicker and Western Bluebird For the last 3 days I went out for birding but the first two days,I came home with no shot. Yesterday,I went to Big Morongo and Covington Park right next to it. At Big Morongo, I only got some wood pecker shots but they weren't good enough to keep. When I was walking up to the parking lot,I saw a group of female bird watchers. I asked them if they had seen bluebirds at Covington Park. One lady said to me "yes" while she was smiling. I then asked her exactly where in the park they saw the bluebirds."Righ over there",she said, pointing at the thick trees area. Not only I got some bluebird shots at Covington park but I also go some luck to get close to a Northern Flicker. The last one I think is an American Robin, isn't it?Finally I got some shots.

Karl Witt Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #3 · Northern Flicker and Western Bluebird Nice series Hide. #2 Flicker shot is stunning and I too really like #3 showing the beautiful wing pattern and coloring. Of the bluebirds #7 is most pleasing to my eye. And congrats on your Robin shot too! Karl Nov 21, 2008 at 06:20 PM

This Northern Flicker looked to be really peaceful and relaxed and I was lucky enough to catch some of his ungaurded moments.

And congrats on your Robin shot too! Karl Thank you, Karl. I wasn't actually looking for Northern Flicker but I was looking for Bluebirds. But this bird flew by. Lucky day for me. And actually I needed some luck to capture some descent Northern Flicker shots.

Lil - - taking a break from her cleanup job after the firestorms - - so no picks... sorry Lil, Everybody is ok? That was some firestorms and I heard that some teenagers might've started the fire. God bless you guys and the birds will be back. Hide danjacquitaylo wrote: Great series Hide. #2 and 3 are my pick. Yeah, Karla tends to follow and pick the same ones as I do..... Dan Thanks, Dan. Northern Flicker and Bluebird are on my top list to catch and though I had a feeling that I might be able to catch some Bluebird shots,I never imagined that I'd be able to get Northern Flicker shots. I needed some luck and I got it that day. Hide Nov 21, 2008 at 08:51 PM

Brenton Biggs Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Northern Flicker and Western Bluebird Hide, your series here is great!!! The lighting in these shots is very good! I especially enjoy the first two flicker photos, because the lighting and exposure in them is outstanding. Nice going!!! Nov 22, 2008 at 01:00 PM

Although the sun was behind me,the shadow area on the bird looked to be a bit too dark, so I used fill flash . I was at the other side of the bird (facing the sun) so I walked around slowly to the other side. I thought he'd be gone but surprisingly he was still there. Talk about luck.
