DavidTriplett Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. Each member please post no more than just one image to this weekly thread per week. If the information is available, many members appreciate information on your approach to making the image and the names, both common and scientific, of the subject(s). However, while encouraged, these are not required as a component of your contributions.

Dieter Schaefer Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Here's my Red-shouldered Hawk. Your's is an adult, mine a juvenile. I misidentified it in the field as a red-tailed but later realized that there's just too much streaking on front (red-tailed hawks have what's usually referred to as a belly-band only). Still not 100% certain as I believe to have seen a red-tailed in flight just a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidTriplett Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 Clark's Grebes rushing, I keep hoping to capture these behaviors among the many grebes at the Bear River MBR, but so far no luck. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_brook1 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My wife took this image in the South Coast in New South Wales, Australia last September. The whales were about 10m away from the tourist boat, no doubt curious about the tourists. The staff had said that there were a handful of whales in the bay for most days in the season when the wales were resting, feeding and then moving on, but sometimes none. On this day, around midday there were at least 50+ individuals, which was unusual, and while we have lived nearby in Canberra for more than 40 years we haven't been on a whale boat before. Just lucky. Fuji X-E1 with a standard 18-55 zoom, and the blue colour of the water on that day actually was like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
