"Vulture frustration" mostly...
Today's encounter: a trespass-cockblocked backlit reluctant turkey vulture in morning light...๐ซฃ
...could've been worse, I guess.
I'm not sure how, though. ๐ค๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
Got some #birding in...with varying results! ๐
๐ฆ The bluebird was completely backlit to me, but I could see he had caught something so you gotta try anyway! Raven was shady too, but at least the robin let me walk around that tree for a clear look! #BirdPhotography ๐ชถ #FeatherFriday
Oops, I might've skipped last week in my haste to get out the door, so here's a really pretty finch for this #FinchyFriday!
That should assuage your righteous indignation...a little.

๐Scrub-jay nestlings start out totally gray. As they grow, the juvenile (or young) birds have gray heads and backs, a blue tail, and some blue on their wings.

When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal.
I see a living being.
I see a friend.
I feel a soul.

I've finally invested in a digital camera for my #birding exploits. Just waiting on the SD card to arrive now.
Hopefully better #BirdPhotography in the coming weeks, months and years at my #LocalPatch of #LadywalkNR. It's a canon 1000d with a 70 - 300mm zoom lens.
You can look at this a few ways...
๐ Duh, I shared 3 clicks.
