Violent Kingfisher
Well, getting Internet access in Atlanta didn't pan out quite like I thought it would. To have wireless access at the convention center, I would have had to have paid $50 a day. I don't even pay that a month at home. I have wireless access at the hotel, but I was hardy there.
But, I'm packing now and and will catch a flight in a few hours and I can get back to regularly scheduled updates. There are some cool products on the horizon that I will mention in the next few days some of the hard core birder, and some for the backyard birder. Wingscapes had a booth with their camera up and running and Bart showed me some footage that they've been getting with hit. You can do video as well as still images. Here's one of a kingfisher going for the camera and beating the crap out of a fish:

That poor fish! I love how the metal perch echoes every time she whaps the fish against it. I need to find a more exciting place to put my birdcam to get some fun action video.
I really enjoy your blog!
Man, she was pissed at that camera! I laughed out loud when she hit it a second time.
I need me one of those cameras.
This camera is so cool. I work at a wild bird shop in Portland (yes, I'm the fan you posed for a photo with) and we ordered these for one of our stores. I am excited to give it a test run and make some demo videos.

Just stopping by to say I love the blog! Too cold to be outside tinkering, so this is the next best thing!!! Keep up the good work!
