The very serious Laughing Falcon in c/birding
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

@snlug

"i would have laughed if you told better jokes"-- grimly serious Laughing Falcon, probably

(PS- love these birbs!)

can you name this birb in just one note? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

OK it's answer time

this one is the same female Green Trainbearer from the photo I posted before but she's turned so you can't see the long tail-- thus she is super hard to distinguish (in a photo where you have just this angle) from one of many other green spotty hummingbirds, for example, Many Spotted Hummingbird...

"you're making me nervous with a comment like that, pal"--Goldfinch, probably

my first beta test of Affinity Photo 2.6 object selection (fedia.io)
 

my first beta test of Affinity Photo 2.6 object selection

Boobear the 28-year-old cockatiel is helping me by posing on a white/messy background, i think that's a tough enough test

snap the photo, select the bird, select the not bird, apply gaussian blur & desaturate to the not bird channel

had to do a little tinkering because object selection missed part of the crest but it's... semi-OK?

comments welcome

would love to see a cage match between a Rufous Hummingbird & a Chestnut-breasted Coronet, it's hard to say who is the crankier birb

Some challenging bright light on a good subject. Our first photography session of the tour centered on a small flock of Yellow-tufted Woodpeckers. He was backlit but this male was fairly cooperative in c/[email protected]
