After the unpleasantness of yesterday’s blog post I needed something fresh and cheerful to get the bad taste out of my mouth. For me a singing warbler will do it every time.
I thought this bird pulled off a pretty nifty trick but it happened so fast I didn’t even know it had occurred until I arrived home and looked at my photos.
Western Meadowlarks are good subjects for practicing take-off shots. The rule of thumb is the smaller the bird the faster the take-off, so songbirds are difficult subjects for this type of shot because of their small size and quickness.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
