Awesome! Are they just passing through or will they stay around your area for a while?

Yes, I think they are just passing through!

I snapped these nice little pics on a short little walk I took! It was already pretty bright!

Those are beautiful! Did you use a phone or a camara?

I used a nice camera! It's new and I've never had a real camera before so I'm still learning!

That's fun! I use a Cannon, not sure what version. We actually have two but I normally use the one with more pixels for wildlife photography. You?

ETA: I'm still working on the "Manuel" setting

I've got a Nikon d3500!

I haven't even tried the Manual settings yet! I have to figure out how it works first.

Manual sounds tricky, I'm not sure if I even want to attempt it. But I guess I should give it a try.

I think manual photos have the capability of being better than the auto focus once you get the hang of it because you can focus on the eye instead of the camera just focusing on a stick up feather or something!

Good point! Maybe I'll ask my friend to teach me sometime.

I was able to get some pictures of a bald eagle today! They're not the best, but I think they're cool!

It caught a fish!
