My house is a bit too wooded for them, they prefer to nest near open meadow hunting areas. This park has at least 50 best boxes spread around the ~150 acres.

I was shooting at 1/1500 at 30fps and managed to get about 3 or 4 perfect shots.

I'm still practicing getting shots of flying birds. I cheated a little bit here as she was coming in to land at her nest.

I'm really lucky that they frequent the parks near my house, they are such fun birds to watch hunt.

Treating kids like grown ups is very important for development.

Shit, didn't realize that James played most of the guitars, including all of Kirk's rhythm sections.

A far more likely scenario is that she needed to schedule an appointment with an official to present the documents. She was released from custody on the 21st and presented them exactly a month later.

Well the article states explicitly that she traveled frequently between the US and Ireland and never had an issue before. Things have changed dramatically under this administration.

Well if you read the article it says she left to visit Ireland earlier this year and returned in March. There's no way she invalidated her green card by staying out of the country for 6 months. It also states she visited Ireland many times during the last 20 years and never had an issue.

 

I love how iridescent their feathers are. Such pretty birds.

Thanks, I appreciate it.

 

This guy caught me by surprise in my backyard. Only just managed to take a few photos before it disappeared.

Not the best shot, but she was being quite elusive.

They are very pretty birds and have quite a funny behavior when courting. The males are always the first to show up and make sure it safe. They also feed the females today sit in the trees in safety.
