Our birds are searching for mates and advantageous nesting sites this time of year. I plan to follow a guy with a long beard... because the birds like the prospects.
Lol, my goal this week is to get a single picture where the bird that is flying is actually in focus.
Screw composition, lighting, and all that junk...baby steps ;-)

Good luck to you...LOL!
Lucky for me...the challenge description does not use the words "in focus," but in Jason's case, the challenge description should include the words "tastefully dressed!"
LOL - that picture's from the old PSA days, right?
Boy, was that airline ever fun to fly.
Whatta' blast from the past. PSA was headquartered in San Diego, flew it all the time. Fun times! I go back far enough that my first memories of flying are from a TWA Lockheed Super Constellation:

DrAchoo, that was quite some source you found. Thanks for posting it.
One time, flying down to San Diego from SFO there were low flying clouds and the pilot ruminated out loud about the advisability of landing in San Diego or diverting. He found a hole in the clouds over the airport and said "we're going down" and turned the 727 into a STOL aircraft, and down we went. My lunch followed on a later flight.
What's with the go-go boots and hot pants? I can't believe this was once considered appropriate work attire for working women. Some of those attendants lounging around on the seats like their ready for "anything"... woebegone are the days when it was a man's world. Sheesh...

It was a different world back then. I think the med kits had some O2, maybe a blood pressure cuff, and a syringe of penicillin. ;)
Actually, the official patient zero for HIV in North America was a gay flight attendant working out of Toronto.

I am amused when I hear young women say they are not feminists or "women's libber types" and they have no idea how quickly the woman's place in the workplace has evolved. I do remember when flight attendants had a little button that said "I'm Debbie, fly me" as part of their uniform; and while I may miss bits of it, I sure am glad my daughter won't have to work in that sort of environment.
Hey guys, this challenge was a great idea... Although I didn't come up with a shot that I am satisfied with for the challenge, I have gotten out twice this week to shoot and have learned a ton about birds. The refuge that I shoot at has a website, and I stumbled across this article on it. Some really good info here so I figured I'd pass it along, even though its alittle late..
