Winged Wednesday: 11-27-2019

[Douglas Sherman]

Eric is out of town so I posted his image and text for him. "Today’s Winged Wednesday is a long-eared bat. This bat was captured at night with a radio trigger at Elephant Head Pond, south of Tucson, Arizona. The trigger sets off 4 speedlight flash. Using an intervalometer, the camera takes hundreds of 30 second exposures. In 3 hours, I might get 3 or 4 keepers."

Wow Douglas, this will be hard to top. Great image you have here and great technical process.

Here is mine. American goldfinch shot at my home in Spokane a few years back.

Doug, very cool and great capture from the work.

This is great Doug. Thanks for starting this, hopefully @Eric Gofreed is just hung over from too much Hot Chocolate last night and will be able to post a photo too.

To capture this reflection like this seems like a miracle, definitely a technically difficult shot.

Incredible image, Eric. Here is my Thanksgiving contribution. This was taken in Park City, UT My grandson Jack was with me and I was getting the turkey to gobble back to the sound of a turkey gobble on iBird Pro. He laughed so hard every time I did that. It is a memory that will be with me forever. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here.

Doug, that is a nice Tom and I have memories of being with my brother calling turkeys up. He is amazing with a mouth call so I know that is an experience you will never forget.

Sorry for the confusion about Eric's Bat image. He is out of town so I posted that for him forgetting that my information would come up instead of his.

Sorry for the confusion about Eric's image, Jim. He is out of town so I posted the text and image for him. I couldn't get that image in a million shots. I have corrected the text to make it obvious who took the image. My bad.

Beautiful, Alan.

A couple from the refuge yesterday. Stilt, dowitchers, and cinnamon teals.

It's kind of funny how one day I'll have an opportunity and get a bunch of pictures like this, and then take it for granted... But then a few years later I realize I've never had this same opportunity again... And never even seen them again... I have many bird and animal shots like that, one timers...

Here's my Thanksgiving contribution!

Great shots all-round, but Eric's is over the top!
