Posting early. I went out before sleeping to get morning birds. And I totally hit gold. Yellow-rumped warbler, California Towhee, and a Red shouldered hawk. Thank you for this freaken camera, Mom! :D

Robin, Mourning Doves, Black Phoebe

Yellow-rumped warbler. robin, pigeon.

Scrub Jay, Rock Pigeon, Crows

Black Phoebe, Chestnut-Backed Chickadee, Western Scrub Jay

Starling, California Towhee, Oak titmouse.

Guessing on species for fun. Correct me if I am wrong. Top is a California Towhee. Middle is a starling. Bottom is a brown creeper.

Playing with my camera. Below is a cropped example of a flag from min/max optical zoom. Sweeeeet! Oh.. and above is a pigeon.

New Camera

And below, the reason for this particular camera choice. Yes. Chasing birds.

18x zoom

Taken with the good camera in very low light. Did very well for low light.

I can't wait to really show it off tomorrow in nice sunny bird-watching conditions!

Quick one today. The new camera is here but I'm afraid of it. These are with the old one until my protective filter arrives.

So tomorrow is the two week mark for days I have faithfully gone out to walk and take my pictures for the other blog. Starting tomorrow I will be adding to the pile. I will either walk further or get some wii fit in. I admit for awhile there I was afraid to step back on and see the weight gain. Maybe it thinks I died.

I think of these things. I imagine my little wii fit trainer worrying about me, checking the police reports each night. I in turn worry what he will think of me when I get back. Will he be angry? Will he say he isn't angry, then be secretly livid every time I log in?

During my walk today I got a couple neat shots that didn't fit into the 3 animals on the other blog. I share them now.

January flowers. Brought by December showers.

Palm trees. Always kind of neat.


Well have you?
