These folks take amazing pictures and I&#8217;m a little embarrassed to post this picture which compared to theirs is pretty pathetic. To get good pictures of birds, the first requirement is a good telephoto lens, a tripod, and a significant commitment of time. Today I was in the woods next to my office with none of those things. I had a 100mm lens, hand held, and only a short time to grab a few pictures. I wasn&#8217;t thinking of bird pictures when I went out. But I wasn&#8217;t in the woods long when I noticed more than one Baltimore oriole flitting around among the trees. This is the best shot I was able to get and even this is only adequate to identify this as an oriole. Maybe one day I&#8217;ll get some of the fabulous photos of birds that I enjoy from others. But this is not that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I follow a bunch of folks on Instagram who specialize in pictures of birds.
