Tufted Titmouse
Yesterday I had planned to go back to LeClaire, Iowa for some more shooting of Bald Eagles but unfortunately other things stood in the way. My friend Dave Updegraff posted some good pictures in his blog from this location and obviously the weather conditions and action of the birds were really good this time. I guess I have to wait for another chance.
I used the gray overcast today to work on a new piece of photography accessory, which I had in mind as a “do it yourself” project since quite some time. I won’t reveal what it is until it is finished, it almost is, and I will show it here in the blog hopefully soon. However, some testing was required in order to find the best design and this Tufted Titmouse in one of our trees made for a perfect subject. The titmouse is another bird that we can see here in our woods all year long.
