SwissDonkey posted:Actually impressed. The old 300mm f/4 optics are nice as hell but with no VR and a tight crop (I'm guessing, at that focal length, parent birbs don't like 300mm distance).  SwissDonkey posted:Edit: This here is my buddy, a (nearly adult) juvenile Australian Magpie. I feed his parents, and they must have told him that I'm a Person With Food because every time I head to the park near my house, this little poo poo sprints at me with his head down, then follows me everywhere. What a handsome fella.

My roommates photography may not be that funny, or give you giggles of delight like so many bird gifs and videos, but they're good photographs of good birds, and I'm gonna keep posting them until I run out dammit.

Yep. He loves bird-spotting and he has a good camera with a good lens. He's quite good at it. These are of course all posted with his permission.

Looks like a raven to me, or maybe a carrion crow? The beak length and shape look very raven-y anyway. The standard british crow is a rook isn't it? It's definitely not a rook.

Brute Squad posted:My grandparents' had one of those too. They'd roll meatballs across the patio to them. Road runners are cool birds. kind of wish i could make cool wild bird friends here but with no coyotes all the cats run rampant in this area and so i very rarely see / hear birds. Usually just some finches in a parking lot that are extremely skittish around humans. as they probably should be since they are foraging in a parking lot.

Loons are the seals of the bird world. They can move about on land, but only sort of. I love them.

A few years back I was studying with a pair of international students (Indian and Filipino, we had first year chemistry together) and it turned into an impromptu lesson on Canadian coinage and why different coins are called what they are, because it turned out to be a thing they found confusing. Then comes the question: "but why is the $1 called a loonie and why is there a duck on it????" Thank god for YouTube, honestly. "This is a loon, they're cool diving birds with crazy spooky songs. Please learn to love them like I do."

Heath posted:Curvy loonette gf Despite the roughly equal participation of the sexes in nest building and incubation, analysis has shown clearly that males alone select the location of the nest. This pattern has the important consequence that male goons, but not females, establish significant site-familiarity with their territories that allows them to produce more manbabies there over time. Sex-biased site-familiarity might explain, in part, why resident males fight so hard to defend their territories.[10]
