Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today are some new shots and this is not a new species that I have captured but on another trip to my local lake I got some really good Red-Crowned Parrot shots. These today will be some head shots that I got, they are cropped a bit so I lost a little quality in them but they are still pretty nice to present here today on my post. I have four shots to share today and these four shots were taken back in the beginning of the year, in January. It amazes me on how much stuff I still have to go through, I have so many shots that it makes me excited when I open up a new folder and boom, shots and more shots to edit. I made a post or two on old shots of these Red-Crowned Parrots, but a reminder I am fortunate to capture them, for they are on the endangered species list. They are from lowlands and foothills in northeast Mexico but make the journey up north it seems, for I have been seeing them here since starting all this birding years ago. I hope they make a comeback, it would be sad to not see these birds in the future. I remember doing research on them years ago, now it seems they are called Red-Crowned Amazon on all the stuff I used to check out back then. Lets get into the shots, the cover shot, the one above is by far my favorite, I did lose quality from the crop and from bring the noise out of the photo but still cool to me and this time was the closest I have ever to to them. I really like them all in color and the black/white versions too. In the second shot below another cool one and it is pretty fun watching these guys. I have more too, the pair together, so those will come later on. I did miss them mating and the babies when I went on that long vacation though. It all happened while I was gone but in this location is where they opened up shop for their place to make babies.
Another cool one here, messed around on the edit a bit but I like it, love seeing the feathers spring out of them, it makes for some good images.
In this last shot here another nice one to share, another angle and I did have to do a lot of removing of little branches, it made the photo look to busy but I did alright as I edited them out. Anyways, hope you all like them, thanks for coming through my blog today, have a blessed Saturday.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
