Hi everyone. Most of the wildlife photographers I know have a particular animal, bird, or whatever that resides at the top of their "bucket' list. I thought it would be a fun thread to find out what these may currently be. Myself, it is a grizzly bear. What's yours? Lets have some fun with this,

Champ's a fraud, a sad shadow of Nelly. Nelly has Nat Geo specials, Champ ususally get mentioned in an article prefaced by 'Oh, yea, and there are some knuckleheads who....."

Darryl,

may I submit an essay

Too many to mention - - worst part. I don't just want to get this species or that species....

I want special moments - where they prove that they're individuals. Where I can see personality & individuality in them.

Most I'd like to catch in their natural habitat - - with the hope that it will be shared with those who do not think we need to care about anything but humanity & then only a select few....

No - I want to remind everyone of the

Beauty

Glory

Diversity

Color

Individuality

Joy

Enormity

of Nature - -

and how small & irrelevant we all are in the whole scheme of things unless we learn to live in harmony with Nature & all other Beings on this planet we

share

The Earth is not only for Humanity - - It is for all of the Beings of this planet to share & my hope is to remind people of that beauty.....

That includes everyone & everything.......

Christ Lil, I actually read your post. You starting a new religion or what?

2. Gyrfalcon
3. All of the buteos & kites
4. All of the woodpeckers
5. Hummingbirds (other than the RTHB)
6. Warblers
7. Puffin, gannets, storm-petrels, albatrosses

Darryl,

My heart really gets pounding when trying to capture the natural behavior of Hummingbirds and Bald Eagles. Even though my technical skills are not quite up to snuff compared to other FM’ers, trying to apply these skills while photographing these two birds is challenging.

#1 photo is of an adult male Ruby Throated Hummingbird.
#2 photo is of two young Bald Eagles having a bit of a squabble.

Great thread,

Larry

I want to get a shot of a Dodo Burd - preferably in flight. Barring that, exotic Kingfishers and Parrots would be cool.

Well isn't that strange, Tim has taken the words right out of my mouth but what Morris said is meaningful too. To catch those special once in a lifetime moments has always been a dream, to see what no one else is likely to see and to share it.

Lets see it Tim goes for the Atlantic Puffin he will have to swing by my place and we will have to pick up Ted Ellis! The Gannets are mesmerizing and sought after too.

With my very limited time and resources I will be happy to see others on the forum get their top of the list birds and post them, that will still make me quite happy to share that.

I wish you well in the Grizzly bear pursuit and I don't think it will be long before we see Noelle with her GBH shot, she has a good helper

Best luck to all members for their dream shots

The list is looong... but for now any colorful bird from tropics would do... There are so many of these colorful birds that I saw that some times I wish I could spend more than a month in that part of the world...

Also leopards of central India since they are soooo secretive...
