Once when back East I was riding around with my cousin (who loves to take pictures, too), and we saw a turkey vulture in the middle of the road eating roadkill and she went bezerk. We had to stop and get a *gulp* picture of the turkey vulture eating roadkill. I guess if you like birds there are "no bad birds". :-)tracyhttp://lifeisaroadtrip.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-40910280969526160712012-10-26T14:39:23.912-07:002012-10-26T14:39:23.912-07:00Fantastic captures, Chris.

BUT--even when gnats fly around my face, they drive me crazy. Mosquitos are the worst --but luckily, we don't have many of them here. The worst thing in this area are the CHIGGERS--especially if you are hiking off-trail.... Yuk!!!<br /><br />Great photos though despite the bugs.<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-65940264539273195382012-10-25T15:49:20.206-07:002012-10-25T15:49:20.206-07:00I don't mind spiders as long as they are outsi...I don't mind spiders as long as they are outside. love the webs.

So I move like a turtle and watch how they circle...the flycatchers, hummers, kingbirds, etc are easy as are the larger birds but those damned warblers are tricky. And even if you get them, they are so small that they "fuzz" in the picture. My Portal shots were some tricky ones. When you come to visit, we can practice with the camera at one of our high density bird areas:) Kathie will probably be jotting down notes and concentrating with binos on the numbers:) But the 200 is much needed for the birds.
