The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut. This Yellow-headed Blackbird was calling out, loudly. If you've ever had a chance to experience these birds in person, you can probably hear this photo.

A Coyote stands in a winterscape of snow, leaves, and plant stems.

Another shot of the Coyote from yesterday. This might be the most active I've ever seen them.

Yes! Here that's the second half of January to March. It should be winding down in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks Alan!

Hah! It was just a glaring example since it was more expensive than new...I have no need for that lens.

A Coyote walks along a creek shore. The animal is partially obscured by a tree trunk.

That sounds terrible

Thanks Anna!

A buck with its antlers stares at the camera for a bust portrait.

A deer is barely visible through vegetation.

A few of my recent deer photos.

Winter is wondrous.

Outside is the good place.

Let me tell you, they are not on the Canon side of things. I can't speak to other ecosystems, but KEH is out of their minds.

Two screenshots of websites' ecommerce page for a Canon 24-105mm f/2.8 lens.

I look at used lenses a lot, as it used to be the best way to get into great glass. But what on earth is going on with KEH's prices? It's cheaper to buy new with many Canon RF Mount lenses (I used B&H as an example). Who are buying these at these prices? #Photographer #PhotographersUnited

Thanks Lori!

I swear Trumpeter Swans flying overhead is like having a small plane flying over you. So impressive, and they glide *so much*. Just stunning animals.

Thanks Alan!

Yep. They have a blu-ish gray bill.

Thanks Sara 🙌🏻!

Thanks! I thought the same.

Thanks Mike! Only my second time seeing one.

Two Trumpeter Swans float in the water with Mallards in the background and foreground.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting. Here's a pair of Trumpeter Swans from yesterday that were floating in and out of spotlighting.

Thanks!

Nooooooooooooooo!

A drake Mallard flies by the camera. Its wings are stretched forward so the full plumage of the wing is on display.

The alternate theme for the #BirdOfTheDay is #Blue. Here's a Mallard I saw today as it was coming in for it's landing. The blue being the wing stripe of course.

A Drake Mallard stares directly at the camera while in the water.

The last of the shots I got with my rental of the Laowa 200 F/2. A fun lens that has really nice color rendition.
