aww come on,you know you shot this inside your atrium...LOL...(read your com about inside your house) ;>

this very night i am working on setting up my online shop for my one of a kind artisan jewelry,photo work and other art items...this freakin' crappola economy made my small local photo biz nose dive,so this shop is hopefully a solution to keeping a roof over my and rivvie pup's head...seriously it is touch and go each month :(

this is a stellar shot and up there with your all time best!

so how you be and how are you surviving this sad economy?

Cookie has forgotten her gurL... haven't heard from her in many moons....last she told me she was shootin' weddings

cheers,gayle

Andre Denis   {K:61561} 3/30/2009
Great shot Marcus!
It's always interesting to watch how birds twenty times smaller can chase these big predators away.
Andre


Doyle D. Chastain   {K:100828} 3/30/2009
Wow, Marcus. So...it's not the size of your beak...but how you use it? LoL!

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Chelsea Burke   {K:5679} 3/31/2009
Absolutely love this! When I lived in the States, I had great entertainment watching these feisty little guys swoop down on cats and dogs and snakes and anything else they took a dislike to. Wonderful shot.


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 3/31/2009
Thanks Chelsea, This guy was trying so hard to get the eagle off the pole I was rooting for him, he was relentless and flew around him, tugging and pulling for around 30 mins, The eagle did get fedup and flew off, The mockingbird flew proudly to his nest which was right next to the pole joined the female sitting on eggs..


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 3/31/2009
Thanks Andre, yes its always funny to watch, they just never giveup when they have a female and a nest near by...


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 3/31/2009
well thats one way to look at It LOL...
I actually have no reply for that!

UHHHH its not the size of the bird in the fight, but the fight in the bird??


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 3/31/2009
HI G, really good to hear from you, you little munchkin, Im going to email you shortly...


Marcus Armani   {K:36597} 3/31/2009
Hi Robbie, I can spend hours watching the little guys defend there area, even if it means I lose the flight shot such as in this case where the little guy made the eagle fly right into the sunlight over my head, though i was hoping he would go left or right...


Robert Chin   {K:21672} 3/31/2009
Congrats on the well deserved award Marcus.
'fly right into the sunlight over my head'...
plus with that 400 monster lens that`s a very difficult shot.
Robbie

Robert Kilgore   {K:1818} 3/31/2009
Marcus, this has outstanding color, detail and pose. In addition to the excellent image qualities, this is a valuable illustration of animal behavior. Little birds harass anything that will eat their eggs. Wonderful capture.
