Mostly Twigs : Welcome to Mostly Twigs! 
Almost all of these pictures were taken in the wild or semi wild, parks and such. Birds that were going about their business and occasionally being curious about what the hell I was doing on their patch. 
Because these shots are taken in the wild and my shooting style is one of hiking, stalking etc. it's sometimes difficult (but fun) to get set up for that perfect shot. Of course serendipity comes into play and is one of the big attractions of this kind of shooting. 
I will sort things into sub galleries as soon as I figure out how to do that. In the mean time I will continue to add photos and text.
Enjoy.

Cheers
Bryan

Birds With The Canon 500mm f/4L IS Lens : Purchased at Amazon.com in late March 2009, the "Big Boy" is rapidly becoming my favorite bird lens, which I use mounted on the BushHawk. Most of these shots are taken with the 1.4x TC, making an effective focal length of 700mm.

Blackbirds and Jays : Jays and Redwings are related, and they're beautiful in their own way. Crows and ravens are just plain funny at times, but elusive. In two years, I've gotten one good photo of each. The redwing blackbirds you'll see, by the way, are mostly a subspecies bi-colored living in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've found flock in fields, by the ocean picking algae off rocks, and in my back yard. As ubiquitous as they are, it's awfully tough getting a shot with the males' epaulets shining.
