At Work Trying To Get Black Swifts

Posted by Birdchick on June - 27 - 2008

Bird Uganda Safaris (is here with their primo give away) and got a shot of me and another convention participant trying to get our lifer black-throated swifts:

Bird California and UTAH 028

Beats the heck out of “swift neck.”

    Now that’s my kind of birdwatchin’! Only with more Barcalounger. ;)

    This pose is similar to one on your “Big Sit” video on BWD’s web site. (Yes, since I got DSL, I can now watch videos on-line. I’m catching up with the back-log.)

    Hee! I’m quite new to birdwatching and I found this position from the first day of craning my neck trying to spot an oriole in my super-tall palm tree. Lying on the deck watching the birds in the palms? Works every time.

    Of course, it’s best not to leave one’s mouth open when using this technique :)

    So did get your lifer swifts?

    So are you birding in that photo or did you have too much of the primo giveaway?
