Chris, I think that is great that you look in the thread every day. I know we get off track sometimes but we are learning from each other and you can see how much we have improved.



Well I don't know exactly how much I've improved, but yes I'm amazed at the number of views this little competition has drawn. Its been fun and I continue to learn. I only wish more people would post their shots. Its nice to see and learn as well.

Huh?!? I can't believe it! Kewlcanon, did you NOT see the hooded oriole and the red-tail getting mobbed by that crow? Those were followed by confirmations of such words as "conquered" and such aimed pointedly at Noelle!

Not much today... just some speed-boat ducks.


Fun shot, Conrad.
Don't worry, I think Noelle feels the heat now.

Competition is definitely heating up! Just a couple days ago I would have tossed in the towel, but Conrad's made some good efforts and it's starting to show. I don't think Noelle can just sit on those ospreys and expect to coast.

@Conrad, what do you set your contrast to? Maybe try backing off a bit.

Hehe thanks Wing. I'm embarrassed to say but I forgot I had the settings at JPG only at full contrast! Haha!

Good Fishawk-in-hover shot Noelle.
Keep an eye on those Snapping turtles in the marsh......they can inflict a painful bite.

Very nice so far Noelle. Nice shot of the snowy egret for sure. And boy you are getting closer and closer to those raptors! Did you go buy a raft or something?

Conrad... I am especially proud of him. I have been stalking them for a year and have never been able to get this close
