A QUESTION

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Lately I have been seeing a few House Finches that appear more orange than red. Is this common? I didn't see this kind of deviation in years past.

First amendment vs. this forum

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
I was under the impression that personal viewpoints were welcome on Astromart forums. If I said something that was not positive regarding film photography it should be considered along with positive assertions.

Salado Creek, Texas

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
This is a spring fed creek that runs through Salado. It was formerly a resting place and flint industry site for the roaming natives. Many worked flints are found here, the majority being Buffalo hide scrapers. What appears to be snow is dry limestone.

WHITE WINGED DOVE

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
Morning light and a very cooperative bird. The White Winged is a recent newcomer in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Formally seen only in the southern part of the state and severely hunted as a favorite game bird.

CAROLINA WREN

I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE FEMALE OF THE PAIR THAT ARE NESTING IN A HANGING BASKET ON OUR PATIO. THEY USED THE SAME BASKET OVER THE WINTER AS SLEEPING QUARTERS. I COUNTED FIVE EGGS BEFORE THEY HATCHED BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY BABIES THEY ARE FEEDING.

LOMO 95 MAK

I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY OWNER/USER OPINIONS OF THIS SCOPE. I WILL BE USING ONE FOR DIGISCOPING IF YOU THINK IT WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE. YOUR INPUTS WILL BE MOST WELCOME.
