Female Brewer’s Blackbird Trying To Slip One Past Me

A short post, just for fun.

 

1/5000, f/6.3, ISO 800, Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM + EF 1.4 III Extender, not baited, set up or called in

See what I mean about trying to slip one past me?

She tried to be sneaky about it so she turned her business end away from me before letting it fly but the falling evidence and the click of my shutter were synced and the camera never lies.

I think that completely innocent look on her face is at least as important to the shot as the well-timed poop. She looks so innocent she looks guilty.

“What’cha looking at, I didn’t do nuthin'”.

Notes:

  • Β I usually try to avoid scatological humor so I generally don’t post poop shots (birds deserve their dignity) but this one screamed to be an exception.
  • For those who like to know such things the photo was taken at Glover’s Pond in Farmington yesterday morning. That’s pond water directly below and behind her. And no, I didn’t hear the splash…

  1. I’ve been sitting here laughing for several minutes! Thanks for the Monday giggles.

  2. Thanks to those who commented so far. At least some of us enjoy this kind of thing once in a while… πŸ™‚

  3. Ron,

    Well timed shot. And again: the expression.

    I actually had to look up ‘scatological’ although I had an idea of its meaning!

  4. Hey! Close the door! 😜

    Sometimes we all need a little poop humor.

  5. A guiltless look though there may be
    The evidence is there to see
    The camera has brought it all to light
    It’s as plain as black and white
    The bird has pooped, as birds will do
    As Ron has generously shared with you.

    I’m like a 12-year-old when it comes to scatalogical humor.

  6. That’s great Ron – a morning chuckle with my coffee. I once had an eagle who was well above me, but fairly close turn and let one go with that long white stream right at me. This one’s saying, “Hey Ron, I “brewed” one up just for you.” πŸ™‚

  7. A great giggle this morning! πŸ™‚ The “stance” reminds me of an occasional guy along the road taking care of business….. πŸ˜‰

  8. Ha,Ha, Ha, I’m still chuckling! Great shot!!

  9. Too funny! Love the face! I can’t add a thing except great start to the day. 😊

  10. “Thank you!”
    What a “sweet/innocent” way to start Monday off with a SmiLe & a GiggLe.
