Hello Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI have never used a Blog before. I hope I am posting this comment in the right place. This is a very interesting photo. Is their an actual story about why you took this shot? What type of bird is it? I see it was taken in the spring of 2007. I am looking forward to see the other classmates photos and to post my own.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI am also new to blogging. This is a great photo, you can see right inside the birds mouth and i have never seen that. Very interesting. Thank you for posting this beautiful picture.
Hi Jeremy and Kristian,
ReplyDeleteYou're in exactly the right place, good for you for being the "early birds" in this assignment '-)
As for the photo, it is a nest of baby robins. We'd been watching the parents fly back and forth building the nest in a small cherry tree by our house in VT (thus the 2007 date, Jeremy, we sold it & moved to FL in late 2008). My husband discovered the babies were born, he heard them but the nest was over our heads, so we very stealthily brought a step ladder to the tree and I stood on it with my camera over my head after getting a peek into the nest, and took a whole bunch just hoping something would turn out. Since the babies were used to their parent bringing food this was the reaction.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI also am new to blogging and looking forward to learning more. I bet he felt ripped off when you walked away. : )
Hi Lisi:
ReplyDeleteI am also new to blogging, but not to social media networking so I hope that I don't get too carried away with the fun of having one's own space in cyber space. Are there guidelines or any rules of etiquette we should know about?
Thanks!
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteLike Jessi, I'm new to blogging but not social networking. It's nice to know I'm not the only person who has tried the point and hope something turns out "method". A month ago my daughters and I were out riding around and saw some eyes in a field. It was dusk and we weren't able to tell what kind of animal we were looking at. I took several photos hoping something would turn out so our curiosity would be curbed, but unlike your photo, we just ended up with little beady eyes on the screen.
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful picture. I am new to blogging and do not do much social networking. I am looking forward to this class and all the wonderful things I will learn from it.

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteThe picture is a very interesting one. I never knew what the opening of a bird's mouth looked like, so at first I was confused as to what I was looking at. The yellow is such a contrast to the surrounding grey that it positively pops and draws your eye to it. I really like this picture.

Wow… this is such an incredible shot! It wasn’t until I took a third and closer look that I noticed the other baby bird in the nest.
ReplyDeleteI, too, am new to blogging!
Hi Lisa, this is my first time blogging and I hope I created my blog right. I really like your photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo!! I received your email. Thanks. I am going to work on this week spicing my blog page up.

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
I have the basics of my blog done, but I still want to work on adding information, and pictures to the basic template.
This picture is something I never seen taken by a human with a camera, which didn't scare the birds nor get 'attacked' by the Mama bird. I think that the baby bird(s) are about to be fed by the Mama bird. Although clearly not true as it is a camera, they are very brave baby birds. If it were to have been the Mama bird she would have had the food, most likely chewed it up than fed it to the baby bird(s). It would be in smaller pieces since they cannot chew up the food themselves yet. The baby bird whose beak is wide open (I've never seen so far down a bird’s throat before) will probably be fed first and is most likely the first born of the baby birds. From there the Mama bird would go on feeding the other birds. This picture is incredible and the quality of the photo all the way down the birds open beak is phenomenal. Thank you for putting this picture up.
This is an awesome picture. Talk about perfect timing. Love the focus, and the blur. I'm still trying to figure out all this blog stuff.
