Almost falcon-like in it's wing set manner. Yesterday I spent some time at one of our owl sites with a visitor who had lists for everything: Life, Utah, Backyard, Pelagic, North American, Neotropical, etc. I don't think she even paused to absorb the beauty of the Flammy before breaking out her journal to tick off another species. But birds mean different things to different people, and it all adds up to an interesting community. I prefer the way you keep track!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That’s a cool shot Ron. Almost falcon-like in it’s wing set manner.

We all do what works for us, Susan. They used to call birders "birdwatchers". That's more what I am - a watcher. When I'm observing them through my powerful lens I get to see details of structure and behavior that most folks miss. And then if I'm lucky and got the shot I can see it again in my images. That's what works for me and I love it!]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.featheredphotography.com/blog/2013/06/23/western-wood-peewee/#comment-28076">Susan Stone</a>.</p> <p>We all do what works for us, Susan.

A bird doesn't have to be brightly colored to be beautiful. You know, I've been on one walk with 'birders' and it was a real turn-off for me. I love spotting birds and being able to identify them, but I like to take my time and would far rather watch them than try to find as many different species as possible. I don't need notches on my bird-book to feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile. That's probably a good thing because I don't see fast, hear fast, or identify quickly… I'm much happier getting to know their personalities and behaviors - connecting with them, which is what you seem to do.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wonderful photos, and the last one is simply amazing.
