Thanks Chris, I needed a steady hand; they were chattering at me.
Lol, and I forgot about the moon! Is nicely in it too
Lovely. What’s a fish crow, may I ask?
Orvus Ossifragus…a slightly more diminutive version of the regular crow– found strictly along the East Coast where it carries on the usual crow business. Voice sounds a bit hoarse, like it’s been nursing a cold.
And you are referring to the Ansel-Adams-Moon here 😉 Great!
So funny… I think it was a gibbous moon in his picture so we do have that in common.
This scene is beautiful, John. These birds are up early. The moon has not left the stage yet.
Thanks Mary-Ann. Yes these birds are up really early and I think they were eyeing a nearby dumpster behind a restaurant. Indeed, the moon is still close to that phase.
Scavengers!
Great Montauk picture!
Thanks!
You do know your crows! I always liked hearing that nasal caw near the water. I like the way the circles of extra wire mimic the round moon, and the crows arranged themselves so nicely, didn’t they?
Thanks Lynn – yeah, it seems they did line up nicely for the picture. Are you a birder?
A very late reply! Yes, for sure! Trying to learn new birds now! You can imagine how much a long time east coast birder would miss certain sounds and sights…mockingbirds singing, cardinals too, great egrets and snowies…but I have a pileated coming to suet just a few feet from a glass door, how’s that!
Absolutely beautiful shot, John. Note perfect.
Thanks Richard. Always great to hear from you.
Great shot, John. I was so focused on the crows that it took me a second or two to notice the moon – nice surprise!
Thanks Ashley. I was happy to have such a cooperative moon.
Scary.. very much reminds of “The Birds” by Alfred Hitchcock…
Yes, I thought of that as well; so many unforgettable scenes with perched birds on wires.
Just lovely..all about to sing..I always think how great it is with moon shots that it’s everyones moon – so shining on those birds here in this perfect shot, and also shining on my fields here now..
What a great comment. Thanks so much Cath.
This has such beautiful rhythm and details. Very nice!
Thanks Karen…crows show a penchant for rhythm and details. 😉
I much enjoyed your Great Egrets btw… lovely.
This is better than a lot of similar cinematographic scenes in The Birds. Too bad you were only 8 years old when Hitchcock was looking for a cinematographer.
