    Super great picture and good camera. Is this camera quality or is it your experience. I always wanted to do some photography but i think i can never get those kind of results. Also were you waiting for that bird to snatch that worm or was it just a random shot?

    TY. A little bit of both :)
    Wildlife, sports, live music, etc. it helps to have nice equip. but for the most part, it's up to the person behind the camera...they make or break a good photo.
    Thanks B! I will. I have a few mor from this batch and I weven mowed yesterday so any new pics won't be so thick with the grasses ;-)
    TYVM :)
    ha-ha, I would have said chicks if that were the case!

    ooops jaree, I forgot to answer your last question.

    I was waiting on the bird to find some grub. The hard part is that when they catch something, they often hold it close to the ground and then shake it in their beak much like a small puppy with a chew toy!!

    So, it makes it that much more difficult to actually catch them with a worm in their mouth toting it around. 1/2 the time they eat it before they even show that they caught anything!

    and a new comer to the mix...check out the catch he made!

    About 2 weeks ago I noticed some mud right underneath our back door (the bricks above the door). I was like huh...that's weird. It doesn't look like bees did that!

    2 days ago I noticed we now have new neighbors! A nest, which must have been constructed in < = 2 days.

    Sorry, the Q isn't the greatest b/c this was on a cloudy, I could barely see the bird to focus AND I'm shooting through a glass window!
