Where is everyone?

Posted By Ron Streetenberger
It's a bit warm here(104)to be out taking bird photos. As for image size, if you keep the largest dimension(height or width) of an image to 850-900 pixels it will fit nicely on the screen. Total pixels should not exceed 500K. Nice image of the Acorn Woodpecker

Tight crop of photo above. Notice the red Mite below the eye ring. I initially thought I had a goofy pixel.

Clavius

Really nice shot, Mike. I've always thought that the six craterlets in the arc were formed by a comet or asteroid that broke up, with the largest piece first and smallest last. I sense gravity and rotation in play in this case.

Photo taken in forest abutting Lake Tahoe. Pine cone is from a Jeffrey Pine. When this little fella is finished, the pine cone will resemble a tapered corn cob.

This old building, used as a winery tasting room, Has really suffered over the years of acorn storage by these woodpeckers. Plymouth, California.

And where do you propose we test all those neat new weapons systems that are constantly coming on line? MEXICO? Not a bad choice!

If you want cheap you can cut a hole in some aluminum foil about the size of a dime, center it over the objective(dew shield)and secure it like you were sealing something in a water glass.
