Yeah I am pretty much confined until maybe Dec. and than maybe a trip to the Conowingo dam for a few days. Meantime I will play with my friends in the back yard to keep my shutters from sticking.

Lou -
It looks like you're in good company during your period of confinement. I'm not getting that kind of variety when I'm out and about.

Hi lou! Good looking birds. Great color on the Flicker.

Ted

Good friends that are willing to play are hard to come by Lou, looks like you are in good company. Nice shots, love the colours in the blue jay background.

Rob

Hi Lou, good to hear that your feathered friends come to visit Looks like there will be enough opportunities to keep you out of trouble until Dec I like that last shot buddy!

Karl

Lou,

Instead of seed for your feeders, maybe you could try a big pile of fish! It may attract an eagle or 2

You could also maybe ask Mick to fly his RC eagle around your yard for a few shots. http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/829561/0#7715570

Get your rest & get strong, you'll be back out there before you know it!

Ha-Ha Hey Ken do what I do when I go food shopping at the Stop & Shop. I take some seed with me and when I park I pick a spot by some bushes and throw some seed out under them. By the time I come out I have lots of Stop & Shop sparrows to take photos of my the comfort of my wagon

Thanks Ted and yeah I have a pair of them visiting me from time to time. They are very pretty birds. I am blowing my kids inheritance on bird seed. I am hoping for some good health or at least good enough to make the 400 mile drive to the dam maybe after Christmas so I hope we get to meet.

Thanks Rob and that color is maple leaves and I also used a Gaussian Blur on the BG. I am going to print that one both on a card and a 13 X 19. Going to go into some canvas prints as I have gotten several orders for them on other prints seen on Premium Luster paper.

Thanks Rob and they are getting so they look for me in the morning. I shake the feed can and the chickadees start flipping about me. God I feed them even before I put the coffee pot on. Yes on that BJ as the colors were just beautiful on the raw. Just blurred hem down a bit

Thanks Karl and yes it seems to be the favorite. Also come the cold weather I will be looking forward to the coming of the snowy owl to the Cape. I hope I do as well as last winter.
Lou

Thanks Rob and I don't think even a RC eagle can be found on the Cape except during migration. Hey there at ten of them soaring about in that area from what I found out about Teds so I'm looking for some more band #. I do believe a pile of fish might bring the cops from complaints of a foul odor unless mu raccoons get to it. I beat them out the other day s they were destroying one of my feeders by being able to climb the stel pipe so I sprayed it with Pam for baking and they can't get up it but I think they love the tasts of the baking flavor

So do I Lou. PS Libby did email me.

Ted

I knew she would Ted. I am glad you allowed her to use your photos on their web as they are a great group dedicated to the eagle and helping it get strong in the area.
Lou

Very nice set Lou well done

Garen

Nice backyard practice buddies put me down for #4 Lou

Thanks Ray but would you be coming from Canada? What about the Mississippi and over by Les, would that be closer for you? I like the Conowingo and not just for the eagles as just how many photos do you need but I do enjoy the company very much. I hope I can get there after Christmas for about 4 or 5 days.

Hi Garen and thanks. Good to have something about to photograph. But I also have my last show of the year on Dec. 5 so I have been working on prints for that and also my photo cards as they are the rent payer.
