I’m always looking for great action or interesting poses when I am out photographing birds and usually I am not disappointed and once in a while I get some very funny images. Mondays just seem like a great day for some humor.<\/p>\n

\"RoseateR<\/span>oseate Spoonbill Funny Face<\/span>\u00a0– Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/1250, ISO 200, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 400mm<\/span><\/p>\n

I was laying in the mud of a tidal pool photographing this Roseate Spoonbill when it stretched out its bill, fluffed its feathers and it\u00a0looked kind of goofy in this frame right before it shook its head.<\/p>\n

\"Really,Really, really relaxed Long-billed Curlew <\/span> –<\/span> Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/180, ISO 320, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 280mm, low light<\/span><\/p>\n

I was photographing this Long-billed Curlew as it preened on a foggy morning when it gave me this really, really relaxed, great pose.<\/p>\n

\"American\u00a0American Oystercatcher butt shot –\u00a0<\/strong> Nikon D200, handheld, f6.3, 1\/640, ISO 250, Nikkor 80-400mm VR at 4oomm<\/span><\/p>\n

Each time I see this image I have to laugh because the pose is so funny, at least I got a catch light in the eye!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
