I thought I would answer your question here re the iPhone bird locator app.<br />Bec doesn't have that app (she uses my iTunes account) and as far as I knew it was really expensive?? My Mum has an Australian bird identifier and I am sure she said it was $30.<br />The only cheaper ones I could find with a quick search were for British birds... If you know of any others, I would love to know as it would be extremely helpful while out.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-89624762304229864442012-02-08T13:50:04.456-05:002012-02-08T13:50:04.456-05:00Springman, the hawk header was wonderful, but this...Springman, the hawk header was wonderful, but this Waxwing is unbelievable!

I must say that I won't go anywhere without my camera but I never go without my bins either. My only dilemma comes with deciding which tool I use first. If I think the experience won't last very long, I simply watch nature unfold with my binoculars and soak it all in. If I think the bird or animal will be with me for awhile, I take photos first and pick up the bins to observe the behavior after the photo op.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09072345959644694466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-82452117072859410022012-02-07T18:40:36.967-05:002012-02-07T18:40:36.967-05:00Springman, I often feel that conflict too and so s...Springman, I often feel that conflict too and so sometimes I rebel and leave my camera home, then I go for a walk and come home and write about what I felt. I do my best writing this way, but the problem is, people like to see pictures on your blog. So, I take pictures, but I try not to let the photography take over.

"From a rotund heaftyness to that of a knife edged battleaxe" puts us right in the picture with you.<br /><br />Can't help but agree about "a prize in the camera" that just makes it double the fun.<br /><br />The real bottom line from our hearts is, that we own a passion for nature's bounty (that's all good), deep within our soul. We just want to observe ... and preserve it, as best we can. That more often than not means, within our hard-drive as well.Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-83290939266701235402012-02-07T13:36:52.388-05:002012-02-07T13:36:52.388-05:00Whatever price you have paid - the in-flight photo...Whatever price you have paid - the in-flight photos of the hawk are magnificent.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.com
