@labradortwister @mercyoffline I love how birds are so lightweight they can climb on tiny twigs like that

@mercyoffline I'm still working on getting a good spoonbill photo in the future, but I have plenty of gallinule pics lol.

@mawgdn I love closeup shots. It takes patience to sit and wait for a bird to get close but it's worth it. American/Great Egret photo I took.

@patchworkfemme Nikon gang! I'm shooting on a Z8 now and started with a d7500. Those bridge cameras are cool too, they have super long reach right?

@Holo_Wendy @010824jpg Totally normal neck lol. Egrets and herons have specialized neck vertebrae to retract into an S shape while resting, in flight, or to snap forward quickly to grab their prey.

@PokeMarr This is always the culprit in my experience lol

@emonikolatesla @canuck5551 Keep trying, you'll find one eventually! It took me like 3 or 4 months to finally find my first kingfisher. They love slow moving water, marshes, and lakes, especially with good perches near the water. Good luck

@labradortwister From my experience observing them, anhinga's are actually kinda clumsy lol. I've seen them accidentally flop off the perch into the water before and they are not graceful when landing in a tree either. Maybe that explains the extra grip
