Great shot, even if a bit brutal 
Saw this adorable juvenile turkey vulture over the weekend, I’ve never seen a young one before!
Wow! I’ve never seen a juvenile Turkey Vulture before! That’s so cool. It kind of makes me wonder how many juveniles I’ve misidentified as black vultures.
I never had either! I was kind of torn in that direction at first, because we don’t routinely have black vultures in our area but it does happen occasionally (there was a big frenzy in the local birdwatching scene when a group of them were spotted hanging out a couple years back). I had to look up a lot of photos of juvie TVs to convince myself that’s still what I was seeing haha.
Ooo, thats a cool shot! How high was your shutter speed for this?
Saw a wood duck for the first time! They’re as pretty as everyone always said
Not @cooldood, but I’ve been able to get shots like this with a shutter speed of 300 to 400, asuming that the f-stop is set properly.
A lot of times, though, I’ll set my camera for Burst (or Sports) mode, and let the in-camera software handle the settings. Part of that is because Burst can dial down to a wider stop than I can set manually, so it’s also a trick that I use for low-light shooting.
Got this photo of a Bobcat in my front yard this morning (October 1) about 11:00. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/405039120
Shout out to the OM TG-7 waterproof compact that was recommended to me on this forum. Great snorkelling camera.

Thanks for this appreciation, Tony! The iNat Forum can be a great resource for those who participate. Great photo!
Wow, what a beauty!
Yeah, catching it in that stalking posture was really fortunate!
What did it have its eye on?
A squirrel.
Superb!
A Wilson’s warbler! I don’t know why, but I love them so much. Amazing photos!
