since @toot.community is closing in 90 days, i am in the process of learning how to migrate, looks like it will be a pretty easy job

i will be peachfront (npub13vf…yv26) & my focus will be on bird photography although i will probably be unable to repress the urge to grumble about the state we're in from time to time...

hope you follow me there!

my favorite photo will be part of my new header

the struggle is real, i haven't practiced enough Bird in Flight photos where the birds are actually flying across the sky as opposed to flying in to a regular perch or feeding spot (i'm using a 400mm lens = suboptimal for distant birds)

this one was shot from the canoe, so it was take the shot or not take the shot... the birds were not gonna stop & perch on our heads 🤣

shots like these remind me that i need to learn how to do noise reduction

this is Cocha Antshrike male, a rare endemic found in wet lowland forest (when he is found at all) that i photo'd from the canoe = fast shutter speed & moving bird (he was singing & hoping) = ISO 25,600

this antbird has a stark black male while the female has more colorful chestnut or cinnamon paired with her black "hood"

i don't know what hummingbird they are illustrating but i think this was brought home in hummingbirds when a VERY widespread & (we thought) well-known hummingbird, the white-necked jacobin, was discovered that if you did the DNA test, around 10-20% of the birds in "male" plumage were "females" (capable of laying eggs)

A bold and showy hummingbird that can be photographed even with phones at the Tandayapa location but it was fun to watch out for the most beautiful poses where the tail caught the best light...

the little-known cheater's hummingbird

seriously, when u see the contortions some go thru to perch on a flower u wonder if it wouldn't have been easier just to hover like all the other birbs...

what you see pretty much everywhere you look at Tandayapa, it's a grainy "noisy" place to photograph because it's cloud / rain forest plus you're trying to capture moving hummingbirds at close range but what models you have to choose from!

here we have purple bibbed white tip, white-booted rackettail (both males) & i think blurry in the back is andean emerald

the cheap DX lenses are no substitute for the real deal BUT i am thinking they will do nicely as lightweight packable backups... it's a bit scary going to distant destinations when you are not really allowed the weight to carry a good backup system

a bad photo sure but a "good enough for ebird photo that backs up what was seen." this morning's O with fish over the yard -- and better than a phone photo
