DavidTriplett Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. Many members will appreciate any information you are willing or able to provide regarding location, shooting process, exposure settings, equipment, and information on the subject(s), including scientific and/or common names.

Dieter Schaefer Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Snowy Plover What are the nature photography rules regarding ringed/banded birds (PSA rules permit them now but how about others)? Automatic disqualification for containing a hand-of-man subject? Or allowed/tolerated - but nonetheless without a chance in a nature photography contest? How about a clearly identifiable human foot print in the above image? Edited March 5, 2021 by Dieter Schaefer 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Spring is approaching. This bald eagle is incubating eggs, which takes about 35 days. In this nest in the San Francisco Bay area, the eaglets typically hatch in early April. In the last couple of years, they had two chicks each year. Typically the two eaglets hatch a few days apart, such that one is always a bit bigger and more dominant. That dominant eaglet gets fed first every time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Fight Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Not a great photo - a grab shot, the only frame I got in focus, but it's an unusual sighting from my back yard. It's a swallow-tailed kite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
