Test to see if BS is hiding all my posts now since I added a screen shot of my photo settings, a secret rule that gets you posts hidden.

I use manual so the iso is mostly what I change on the fly. This Juve I took just before the adult and shutter was 1000 and iso iso 12800:

Here was my settings. I did use LR denoise:

Bald Eagle while running up river in my boat:

There's been a few of these around the river, but very illusive. I did finally get a few shots of an Indigo Bunting from this week, Rock River Photos:

Last chick at the nest area, the other 2 fledged a week prior & flying around the islands. This one was probably hatched a couple weeks later.

No twirlers on my maples this year because of previous temps this spring and winter wiped out the buds. And not just maples were affected - fruit, nut trees, other trees, and plants are also affected.

This shot of a Juvenile Red-tailed hawk made it worth my trouble db yesterday. I knew there was a nest, but I couldn't see it. They perched in this spot for one day, I went back yesterday & they were gone. There was 2 chicks and while loading the boat I saw an adult bring them a meal.

A grey squirrel from yesterday in the same area I see red and black squirrels.

Guess who's eating Japanese beetles? The Eastern Bluebirds in my back yard!

Moon this morning, I finally made it out on the rock. I did one drift and didn't see much, but the 2nd drift I spotted 2 juvenile RT Hawks, that female eagle and a couple chicks, one is still at nest, they other 2 fledged as did the Hawks.

Raccoon on the hunt from last week:

My Zinnias are starting to bloom in this one area where an old stump was. The others I planted around aren't doing so well this year.

Female Bald Eagle from last time out. No she wasn't staring at me the whole time I drifted by, but makes for better photo when she does look:

I came across that black red squirrel again, he's still hinging in there:

Female Bald Eagle from last week Rock River

Kingbird from last time out. I'm not going out until it cools down. The river is already warm, which makes the air feel worse.
