Bird ID Please

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Bird ID Please

Postby Alpha_7 on Tue Mar 13, 2007 8:30 am

Finally made it to the Zoo for the first time since our Honeymoon over 4 years ago, and this time I had not 1 but 2 real cameras. This is a shot I took inside one of the walk around avaries, in the wetlands section, can anyone help with an ID ?

Image

Also thanks to JohnD for suggesting the bird show, here is my take on the Wedge Tailed Eagle (love them, beautiful birds).

Image

I also got very close to the resident Sea Eagle. Sadly she was injured so will never be released to the wild.

Great shots Craig. Nice detail.
Did you use your 80-200 or something longer?

Cheers
John

That first image is a cracker! Not only is it sharp as a tack...but the bird is also doing something interesting...giving it character...

Both of the other shots are also great....but I still keep going back to the first one..:)
The last thing I want to do is hurt you... but it's still on the list... ;)

80-200 and Katie used the D70 + 18-200VR, I'm trying to get her to post a great owl photo she took.


Thanks for the comments Bindii, the first is my favourite of the 3 too, probably my favourite of the whole zoo trip.
