And why couldn't a different camera have got a similar (if not better) shot? Gerrit |

I don't shoot all long-necked birds .... just the ones with spikes through their throats. And why couldn't a different camera have got a similar (if not better) shot? Don't know. I've never seen shots of long-necked birds with spikes thorugh their throats taken with better cameras. |

Joan wrote: Is anyone doing anything about the spike? No. There are two options that have been considered. 1. Leave the bird alone and let nature take it's course. The spike doesn't seem to bother the bird at all, and it should eventually work it's way out on it's own. 2. Try to capture the bird and remove the spike. This would prove quite difficult and would probably traumatize the bird as well as possibly seriously wounding it further in the attempt. How would one catch a wild bird, anyway? I suppose they'd have to shoot it with a tranquilizer gun, but then they'd have to hope the bird didn't fly up in a tree where it could fall to it's death or where it would be difficult to retrieve. I suppose if I had the time and lotsa little fish, I could eventually train Spike to come to me like I did Harry the Hawk. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/61262554 |

How about a shortneck bird with a starfish leg through its throat, same camera, better lens? http://www.jlkramer.net/Pictures/seafish.htm Jim |

They both did it to themselves: The heron probably mistook the shiny nail as a fish. The seagull was just in too much of a hurry to eat. Jim |

Well done and thanks for sharing. I guess I'm going to have to get up early some morning and sit out on the dock to catch with resident Great Blue Heron with the D200.
