  Very nice collection of photos. You're getting up to the DH, DY level.

  Folks -

After a couple of photographers confronted me about the authenticity 
of the shots of the Hawaiian owl & hawk (I guess they really are the 
proverbial "rare birds') another chided me about not including any 
shots of the state bird ("What... no Nene??") So, lest I be accused 
of Nene Neglect here's a headshot (the ropey neck does give us 
snappists some graphic opportunities):

However, I feel compelled to admit that sometimes these acute 
renderings don't quite do it for me, so I thought I'd post a series 
of three shots of the Red-Tailed Tropicbird. The pair of long thin 
feathers also draws the fire of photo shooters; but I was trying to 
do something which has much of my attention these days as regards 
birdshooting, which is to try to create the feeling that we've 
entered their world (must be that damn Winged Migration film...)

Here's the progression:

'Course, I suppose the next stage of this attempted illusion is to 
try to get the field in some kindof focus that would better represent 
the "birds' eye view...

All shot with the ever-popular (not to mention my only long lens) 400 
Telyt.
