How wonderful it is to read through all these great comments and to visit everyone. I will be up on the Pine River a lot during the next month. I am excited at the prospect of getting some great captures to share with everyone. I hope to be on the cross country skies more than in the car that's for sure! <br />;-)WBWSpringmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09094132506583563094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-27688643743202461962010-12-29T05:32:10.193-05:002010-12-29T05:32:10.193-05:00You always gotta see things from the bright side &...You always gotta see things from the bright side & you have perfected that I see ;)<br />That's one thing I loved in autumn - Spring, that you could finally see some of the birds.<br />I love your patient birdies!<br />And no, I'm not the slightest bit envious for your 400mm *sigh* ;-)<br />Cheers from Kuwait!Nicolehttp://nicoleb.org/mnblognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-24586440229914216362010-12-29T02:52:32.351-05:002010-12-29T02:52:32.351-05:00Beautiful shots of the Red-tail Springman!

Winter is the perfect time for finding those birds in the trees without all those troublesome leaves in the way but please be careful. I know, I have almost driven off the road a couple of times doing exactly what you describe.<br /><br />My camera also lives on the passenger seat of the car. It's the only way to drive ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for starting this great meme by the way. I hope to visit every blog listed every week.

One tip: I would paint a small highlight, just a couple of shades lighter than what you've got, in the first RTH's eye. You may have to experiment around a bit, but once you've got it really makes the eye come alive. Thanks for the link the RTH site - great info!Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2475638899054945042.post-31195243793449223362010-12-28T15:25:38.831-05:002010-12-28T15:25:38.831-05:00Adored your story of winter birding adventures!

I too travel with my camera by my side. Although I don't have any great added lens I do what I can. Nothing looks better with the Eagle than the bright blue sky as background.<br /> I like your Hawk pics.<br />I will post my birding shot later in the day.
