amherst trip

[denis]

here,s a few owl pics taken at amherst yesterday.unfortunately the boreal,was well hidden again.very dark,with not much light for photos.some were taken at 1/40 & 1/60 sec,and high ISO.sharpness is not great. a monopod would have been great.

finally my first saw-whet


a very well hidden boreal

a woodpecker with that " do you mind look "

and finally a female kestrel. i like the BG on this one

The framing on the Barred makes for a lovely image.  Your Saw Whet out in the open- very nice and of course the Boreal.  Denis, you had a great day.  I'm regretting my change of plans.  Congrats on the great images!

I love the kestrel shot. Nice.  All are great but it is nice to see the landscape as well. Ann
