I don’t know what kind of birds are these. I got this shot by imitation. When someone points their camera up a tree, my spidey sense would immediately be tipped off – there’s something in the tree. It only took a few seconds before these birds realized they’ve attracted the attention of humans and flown off. At least I got the shot, I guess it’s all that matters.




I went to the airshow at the end of June. It’s held every two years and despite I’ve been listening to the planes practicing while I held my work meeting, I had to go this year because of my aunt. She’s never been and doesn’t understand English. The finale of the airshow this year was the USAF Thunderbirds.
I didn’t stay for the finale two years ago when I attended. It was hot with no shade and nowhere to sit, so my mom and I went home. This year, I found a place to sit in a hangar and rested until the finale. I’ll admit that photographing planes had its challenges but overall, it was a fun experience trying to follow these planes’ movements and freezing it in 1000th second photo.


The birds are Cedar Waxwings! So beautiful (I used google lens). Your Thunderbird images are great–not easy to photograph without getting dizzy 🙂

Thank you. I googled and it sure looks like it.
No, it was not easy photographing, a few times, I found myself spinning in a circle trying to locate and follow the planes. 😀

Nice bird photos, and yes they tend to fly away pretty fast! I always like your airplane pictures. I only went to one airshow once when I was a kid. Yep, it was so hot out. We used to have an AFB here, but it got closed a few years ago. 🙂

Thank you.
I hope this AFB doesn’t close. If it does, the city I live in will probably become a ghost town as much of its economy depends on it.
