Let Me Get That For You

This ibis seemed to think that my lens needed a little cleaning. This is one reason I like to carry two cameras.
This is so funny! I should have gotten the one with him running off with the zoo map.Fav!

Ron, this is a riot!!! Awesome catch. What were you doing? Taking the shot with a second camera? You're talented. FAV.

Love it. Reminds me of the time I took a photo of an emu and he tried to eat the camera. Stay away from emus, they are vicious. ha ha.

Wow! He is not shy!

Fun shot!!!

Looks like he wanted you to take a macro shot of his beak. Having a second camera in hand definitely came in handy here.

What a fun shot!

Haha, this made me laugh. It reminds me of when my son tried to take a photo of a goose, and it attacked the lens.

@aglennc Yes, Anita, I had my little Lumix hanging around my neck, and when he came up to me I knelt down to get closer to him - he seemed pretty friendly - the DSLR dropped down and that caught his attention. He was actually trying to bite the lens hood. Couldn't pass up that opportunity.

@onewing @888rachel Thanks for sharing your encounters Babs and Rachel. One of the fun things about working with animals - you just never know what might happen. Makes it great fun!

@lyndemc I'm pretty sure he was noting what settings I was using. He saw that it was a 70 - 200 zoom, looked up and waved his ample beak up and down. If I recall accurately from watching Flipper, this indicated tacit approval. He was less impressed with camera number 2, the Lumix. Thanks for the support Denise!

@summerfield Thanks Vikki. Yes, they all want to try the cameras - as you can tell from some of the other encounters shared by Babs and Rachel. I let him do as he pleased - that beak was enough to convince me!

@stray_shooter Great shot, for sure.
October 7th, 2015  
Hahaha too funny! Can I hire him to clean mine?
October 7th, 2015  
That would have made such a great shot with a wide angle lens!!

Look at that ugly, totally unprotected head. One whack with the lens and POW!!!!
