I have bought myself a t70 some lenses and a 2x teleconverter.
I am ready to start basic bird photography.

What are some nice tips for finding birds in the wild. I always seem to lose them. They are kinda scared I think.

Research which birds are common in your area, walk leisurely and open your ears. Take your time and enjoy yourself while walking around. The Merlin app is a good one for identifying birds in your area. What lenses did you get? Patience is a huge factor with birds. Sometimes instead of walking, you just listen and sit. If you come up on an area with several birds and they fly off, just sit quietly and they'll usually come back. They were there for a reason.

Also go out in the mornings and evenings. Birds aren't as active at the height of the day.

The colors look off but in a lomographic way, I dig it.
Reminds me of 70s euro movies.

This so much, photographing animals is like hunting if hunting required skill

Birds are really hard to get. A lot of the times I go out birding I come back with nothing.

Just stopped by a park with a fishing lake at sunset. Only had my dslr a week. Tons of birds out and active as the sun was setting, then they were almost all gone after the sun went down.

Hey guys, I’m super new to this board. Am I allowed to post a thread asking about where I can find the source of a photo that was used in an aesthetic meme? I’ve been looking for it all day, I really like it, and I just can’t seem to find it anywhere—reverse image searching doesn’t help. I took this photo of a crane a while ago, I’m not much of a photographer.

First step is to get the Peterson field guide and start learning the birds in your area. Here's a link. Download it and get studying friend.

Next step is to go out and start birding. Go out to where you usually find birds. Go out to habitat that seems suitable for the kinds of birds you're looking for. Listen to calls. Go during times when birds are most active (depends on what type of bird but most you can find most active at sunrise and sunset). Don't try to harass the birds, and don't try to mimic their calls to get them to come out (this can make male birds very anxious because it simulates a competing male in their territory. Studies show that it can alter behavior and the health of the bird if done too often, and plenty of people are already doing it. Best not to contribute to that imo).

thanks anon. That's actually Charles. A local male Brown Pelican who is very friendly and likes to hang out with people at the harbor. He gets scraps from fishermen as they clear their fish, but he will hang out with you even if you don't have any food. He just likes to be around people I guess. He's a good guy. I like Charles.

Birds are like little robots. If you see them hanging out on a certain branch or tree there's a good chance they'll come back to it if you're still and quite. Don't chase them let them come to you.

They nearly went extinct where I live. DDT decimated their numbers, and in the 70s seeing a Brown Pelican was as rare a sighting as seeing a Whooping Crane is today. Fortunately after the outlawing of DDT and drastic and effective conservation efforts, their numbers have risen to healthy numbers and they are now plentiful. You literally cannot go to the shore line now and not see like 12 of them diving for fish at any given time of day. It's absolutely beautiful to see.
