Gray casually sauntered over to us while we were exploring the Strathcona neighbourhood yesterday. He graciously accepted some pets and then while moseying among the ferns, he stopped and artfully posed for my camera.
It was a perfect walk, long but not arduous, lots of interesting scenery, one charming cat, a few dogs in windows and on porches, a few chats with passersby, a stop for coffee and a pastry at a charming spot where we met more people and a dog named Einstein,
a back alley with a laden clothesline and rustic garages, beautiful old tall trees lining the streets, very little traffic, only bicycles and strollers, balmy weather and a public bathroom in a park at the end, can't ask for anything more, it was perfection.
Fotografiar en color no es lo mismo que fotografiar “el color”
Photographing in color is not the same as photographing "the color".
I was able to get away for a few hours after work yesterday. Saw a few raptors hunting including this nice male Northern Harrier. I spotted him on the ground and had thought he had prey in the talons since he gave a couple short hops. I waited and waited and he just took off without any prey. he did come around again and I got a second opportunity. The female came around and perched in the distance. I removed the extreme gold cast and was happy with the overall result. Click for large view :)
The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis), also spelled grey catbird, is a medium-sized North American and Central American perching bird of the mimid family. It is the only member of the "catbird" genus Dumetella. Like the black catbird (Melanoptila glabrirostris), it is among the basal lineages of the Mimidae, probably a closer relative of the Caribbean thrasher and trembler assemblage than of the mockingbirds and Toxostoma thrashers. In some areas it is known as the slate-colored mockingbird. -

This bird was in the shadow of the pine trees this afternoon. I mistakenly thought it was a mocking bird from a distance as the appearance and voice is similar. I'm glad I don't have trust my old eyes alone to identify birds.
(Myiopagis caniceps) B28I1035.jpg Explor Napo Canopy - Peruvian Amazonia
Uncommon in canopy of humid forests
This image features a Female Gray Seedeater (Sporophila intermedia) perched in the natural surroundings of San Pablo de Borbur, Boyacá, Colombia. The bird's earthy yellow and tan hues stand out against a softly blurred green and blue background, creating a serene and harmonious composition. As a photographer, I focused on using natural light to enhance the subtle tones of the bird's plumage while maintaining sharpness and detail in the foreground. The use of an 800mm lens with a 1.4x extender allowed me to capture this delicate scene with precision and clarity.
From a technical perspective, the image was shot at 1/90 second, f/16, and ISO 400, providing a balance between depth of field and motion control. The effective focal length of 1120mm enabled me to isolate the subject and blur the background, ensuring that the Seedeater remains the focal point of the image. This photograph exemplifies the importance of patience, composition, and the right equipment in wildlife photography, allowing the beauty of this small but vibrant species to shine through.
