Birds > oneeyeblink  > Nature > 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

oneeyeblink > He knew I was there, even though there was a lot of leaves and branches between us. He is a Blue-gray Tanager. Although you will see these guys everywhere I still liked seeing them.
 In the early mornings they and the Palm Tanagers would sit on the balcony rail looking in the window and occasionally tapping said window trying to get our attention. I guess they knew who was putting all those tasty bananas out on the feeders.
oneeyeblink > A yellow-faced Grassquit at San Gerardo de Rivas
oneeyeblink > Speckled Tanager up at San Gerardo de Rivas, Costa Rica. There were so many different species of birds in such a small area up there I didn't know where to look first. I could spend weeks and not get them all.
oneeyeblink > Baltimore Oriole in San Isidro, Costa Rica. He might have been on the same flight as us. They only started arriving around the same time as our arrival.
oneeyeblink > Red-Tailed Hummingbird bathing in the Rain in Noels backyard. I'm pretty sure this is the same guy that keeps flying into the house about twice a day. When you grab him and put him outside he sits on a branch and squawks for five minutes. If hummingbirds could squawk this guy is doing it,
oneeyeblink > A very early morning shot of one of the two Road-side Hawks living on the property behind Noel's backyard. They occasionally take song birds that visit his feeders but the locals are generally pretty savvy to their ways. He knows I'm photographing him I think.
oneeyeblink > lineated Woodpecker in San Isidro, Costa Rica. On a snag in the property behind Noels backyard. Noel has an amazing shot of this guy with its mate on his website "Tropical Feathers" in the bird photos section.
oneeyeblink > Voilaceous Trogon at Los Cusingos right outside David Scutchs place which is now a reserve and museum.
His house is intact, just the way it was when he wrote all those books about the birds of Costa Rica. He wrote the definitive guide to birds of C.R. and Central America along with many others about bird behavior and habits. 
He has/had a very charming writing style, very accessible and with out condescension.
oneeyeblink > One of two Orchard Oriole that stopped by for a visit in Noels back yard in San Isidro, Costa Rica.
He knew I was there, even though there was a lot of leaves and branches between us. He is a Blue-gray Tanager. Although you will see these guys everywhere I still liked seeing them.
In the early mornings they and the Palm Tanagers would sit on the balcony rail looking in the window and occasionally tapping said window trying to get our attention. I guess they knew who was putting all those tasty bananas out on the feeders.
