Took my daughter to the Bird Kingdom at the Niagara Falls Aviary - she hated it! I had a blast. And it gives new appreciation for the people who photograph birds. Most of my pics turned out poorly - motion blur, tiny samples filling the frame, that kind of thing.

This one here is memorable because we were in the part where you feed the Lorikeet's and as I was holding the cup, my daughter thought she'd pull the tail feathers of one of them, caught it just as the act was happening.

Now, if anyone can explain how I get motion blur while propped up against the side of a tree doing everything by the book and this one comes out sharp holding the camera with one hand, leaning back and having a grumpy 4 year old tugging on me, I'd appreciate it ;)

LondonShutter Yeah, I like how my daughter is abusing the one but the closer one is just drinking away minding her/his own business. I can just imagine it thinking 'better you than me, now hold this cup steady!'
