Another 3D bird photo taken with my Canon 5DS 🙂 So, my day job as an event photographer is pretty cool! I specialize in capturing outdoor weddings which means that I’ve got the opportunity to travel all over North Carolina to spend time with like-minded nature loving couples in gorgeous natural settings. A nice side bonus is that once I finish photographing each wedding, I’ve sometimes got the time to do a little birding at the venues. A win-win in my book! I spotted this Brown Thatcher recently while at the J.C. Raulston Arboretum in Raleigh after photographing a small ceremony in the Klein White Garden. He and his mate were hunting for bugs in the underbrush and I was lucky to catch a glimpse of him when he stepped out into the sunlight for a few seconds. Have you ever noticed that Thrashers have a Mockingbird – like vibe to them. They’ve got a similar shape and a certain fierce look about themselves. This is because they share spots in the Mimidae family, a talented group of mimickers. In fact, the Brown Thrasher boasts the widest repertoire of songs in the U.S. Photo by @sally_siko . . . . #birdnerd #birdsofinsta #birdsofinstagram #ncwildlife #birding #birdwatching #Birdbehavior #bird #birds #yatesmillpark #ncbirding #ncbirds #ncbirdwatching #canon #canon5ds #brownthrasher #birdsin3D #canon5DS #eastcoastbirding #3dphotos #nchiking #ncoutdoors #ncnature #silvercordeventphotography #silvercordphotodaily #ncwildlifephotographer #naturelovers #birdwatchingnc #northcarolinabirds
