And more poultry... :)

Those ones are certainly fighting for territorial purpose, or female...or both. :o

Learning to fly:



Willi, a 2jr. old Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus, Gänsegeier) is learning to fly.
Born blind he now has one eye working and the bird trainer at Poing ( http://www.wildpark-poing.de/) is training him how to fly which is partly integrated into the daily bird of prey show.
Shot in 2006 with a D200.

cheers

Lots of birds and lots of noise before "bedtime".. great Hitchcock'ish mood.

Great idea for a themed topic and once more interesting to see how different the same subject is seen and captured by the different photogs.

Here's one from the Rotterdam zoo during a local mini NG event:

D300 & 200-400/4VR, NL 2009

Same bird but this time around the 2m minimum focus distance for a nice close up of those amazingly beautiful eyes, one of the reasons I liked the 200-400 zoom

Jan, impressive. That black background works very well in the first image as well.
This one comes from some time ago, with the d200. Birds going south through the Stretch of Gibraltar.
