Title: 873 pics!
Post by: cryfowl on July 26, 2011, 12:35:57 PM: Finally put my camera out last week and got 873 pics.................nothing but Ravens and Vultures. :yike: Guess it's time to move the camera and take it off the 6 shot burst....LOL. Apparrently they like to sit and sun themselves on a stump my camera faces.
