Thanks Ralph. What amazes me is that these huge frog-mouthed little birds grow up into a sleek swallows. A face only a mother could love, right?Very old pics likely 20yrs ago. I have to stop going thru slides to scan.Very cool!
Thanks Patrick. Not wall hangers but fun pics the same.
Thanks Dan.
Thanks Charles. Nothing beats ugly baby chicks at feeding time!!!! All were in such unison which was the entertaining part.
Thank you Stephen!
Thank you! Everyone needs a little "swallow" entertainment! So glad you enjoyed. Had these slides forever, finally digitized and a place to post to captive audience!
Thank you. In classic Mendecino style, these birds were revered and not disturbed or discouraged from returning yearly. Tourist beware walking under these guys.
Thanks Rick. I am glad you all liked them!
Those are good ones- don’t stop!
Thanks Joe. I seem to be getting decent scans using the ES2 adapter on 60mm/D850 so I will try not to flood you guys with too many oldie shots. Unfortunately, most pics I have were landscape which tends not to be as fun as these to see. I just started enjoying wildlife pics when I got my D850/500mm last year. I am trying to fix up in LRC my mountain lion/cubs at Jackson, Wy taken with 300mm at about 100yards so challenge.
Thanks Steven. It was hilarious to watch as they went from closed to open instantaneously as soon as they saw the parent. Repeated episodes have about 20 slides but head positions were not aligned as well! Film was 64kodachrome so had to flash and didnt freeze parent.
