Wasn't aimed at being a bird picture, as I didn't even see the magpie when I took the photo, but rather a landscape photo using a tree with fancy red leaves as focus.
Turned out I was dead wrong about the leaves as it was acctually in flower at the time and there was a bird in there that added some nice contrast.

Been thinking about blowing that one up on canvas but just haven't got around to it.

The bird post has fallen behind! Here are some Osprey shots I took today. That's a bullhead it has in its grip.

I've been photographing a couple of Great Blue Herons at a local lake I bike to several times a week all summer.

I just took this a couple of hours ago. I was photographing the turtle when the mallard came by.

I am always amazed at how the various animals/birds so easily distinguish between a threat and a non-threat.

The turtle and duck know that the other poses no threat.

Even more interesting to me is along the roads. You can have loud/fast-moving vehicles driving right by some animal in the ditch or on a fence parallel to the road, etc. and the animals think nothing of it. As soon as you start to slow down -they get ready to take off and if you stop, they are gone immediately!

Vehicles are not the threat. Humans are.

Well I suppose there is some truth to that. However, even humans do not pose a threat until they show interest.

Just this weekend, my brother and I were standing right under a big old Boxelder tree talking -not being quiet or sneaky. A Pileated woodpecker comes and lands right in full view only a little ways away. We looked at it for a while and it didn't care about us. So I thought, hey let me take a picture with my camera. As soon as I tried that - GONE!

They always know!
