Welcome to Mostly Twigs!
Almost all of these pictures were taken in the wild or semi wild, parks and such. Birds that were going about their business and occasionally being curious about what the hell I was doing on their patch.
Because these shots are taken in the wild and my shooting style is one of hiking, stalking etc. it's sometimes difficult (but fun) to get set up for that perfect shot. Of course serendipity comes into play and is one of the big attractions of this kind of shooting.
I will sort things into sub galleries as soon as I figure out how to do that. In the mean time I will continue to add photos and text.
Enjoy.
Cheers
Bryan

This Towhee has a patch in a quiet part of Jericho park. On numerous occasions he has flown over in my direction and landed on a branch while calling out.
As I move off through his turf he follows very closely, sometimes 3 or 4 feet away,calling all the time. I eventually figured out that what he is doing was ground feeding where I walked. I guess I would stir up the leaf litter exposing bugs and seeds.
Probably more than half of all my shots of Towhees are of this friendly fella. I always enjoy going up to pay him a visit.
