I wasn't going to remind you of this until I saw you suggest Luke Lilledahl isn't sith-worthy

Just doing some math here and realizing that slapping a 100% tariff on this particular Spanish film would've required it to be ¡SIX AMIGOS! There's no way Chevy Chase would've tolerated additional amigos.

European Garden Spider (Araneus diadematus)
Sorry, I'll get to more birds shortly. My auto-buffer ran out without my realizing.

Northern Shoveler
Spring 2023, Central Park
Northern Shovelers are easy to ID b/c of their long dark bills (males only) and odd positioning in the water, with their back end up a bit higher. Beautiful eyes. This is a non-breeding male, the breeding males are more stunning.

Eastern Carpenter Bee
Spring 2023, State College PA
Most of my bird shots are taken with a 400mm lens, these bee shots were taken with a super-crisp 80mm macro lens (Fuji). Which also means I'm practically on top of that bee, and I'm simultaneously fascinated/terrified by stinging insects.

I'll briefly pause on the daily bird posts to add in a few bees. I've had my bee photos featured twice in the NYTimes Spelling Bee page, which puzzle I do every day.

Canda Geese (not "Canadian" Geese, btw)
Spring 2023, Central Park
Ducks and Geese on water are relatively easy to shoot, except that the best shots are taken at water level, and to do it right you need to get in the water. I'm not there yet, but you can see here I got close.

House Wren
Spring 2023, State College
We have a cat toy that sounds like a House Wren, and since this Wren was literally residing in a birdhouse outside our front door, the cats were terribly confused for awhile. We decomissioned the toy, the actual Wren sounds better.

Small, elegant fly-catchers that photograph beautifully, w/ subtle warm, neutral, smoothly gradated tones. They're not difficult to shoot b/c they return to the same branch, often near water, catch an insect, lather rinse repeat.
