What is your address Wayne? You live in some sort of bird paradise?:D These are awesome captures mate.
All i got was some stinkin hoverfly and mosquitos when i was out this past weekend.

[Anthony J Howe]

These are very good shots, you must have had a very satisfying weekend by the looks of it.

[Dimitri_V]

Would like to see them all but living in the sticks and only having access to dial up it would take a week. You take great photos Wayne and I enjoy viewing but there are either to big or your host is to slow. It's been almost 15 minutes and can only see 2 so far.

Wow...excellent shots. You had one amazing weekend. Number 2, 5 and 6 are my favorites. Can't choose between them. ;-)

[superdiver]

Amazing!

I wanted to pick out my fav's, and came up with #''s1-8 being my fav....LOL

[alpha788]

Nice series of shots of a variety of birds - all well captured!

[Airedale1]

A great series!

[ngannet]

Really nice shots, especially the warblers and Pileated. I am envious also of the Bunting shot. I've been trying to get pics of these beautiful birds with no luck.

[Blue Deuce]

All those in one weekend ? I am heading up there with Fee.

Nice variety of birds I am not familiar with. The detail in the pecker shot is extroadinary.

[clivingston]

That is an amazing series of captures. All of that in one weekend is incredible. I am lucky if I could do that in a month! Believe it or not I think the bluejay is my favorite, the colors and composition are wonderful.

[wireburn]

That is an amazing series of captures. All of that in one weekend is incredible.
I must say I concur. And also that Bluejay shot is magnificent. The color combo with the lilacs is stunning.

[Wayne Wood]

thanx eveyone for the extremly kind words I appreciate you all taking the time to comment,,, My personal favorite in this series is the Pileated He allowed me to get within arms reach ,,, I had to back up to my minimum focusing distance the shot is uncropped, and I.M.H.O the sharpest ive taken to date ,,,, thanx again for looking

[Rubberhead]

Which len(es) did you use?

[RMc]

,,, My personal favorite in this series is the Pileated He allowed me to get within arms reach ,,, I had to back up to my minimum focusing distance the shot is uncropped, ...

I believe the Pileated is my favorite too. One reason because I have only seen one maybe 3 or four times in my life...usually while deer hunting or riding my bike on the Katy Trail and no camera. They are beautiful to watch flying. Your Blue Jay is remarkable also. I see them around here all the time. Yours seems to have more white on his face than mine. We have a million Sparrows, but your other birds I ahve never seen. All great shots.

A super nice series of images here Wayne. Where did you see the indigo Bunting? I was not even certain they extended this far north. The Magnolia Warbler is very nice ( great find) and the RBG is very nice and in a nice habitat,,,very nice Pileated and the Bluejay with the flowers is also great,,,they are all great. Nice work!

[wolverinesr1]

fantastic shots wayne,and weekend. i have to say i love the jay shot the best. it has everything going for it

[dancad]

Very nice series Wayne. At first I liked the Blue Jay shot best, but now I think I'll go with the Grosbeak...excellent pose and great habitat.

I can understand why you are proud of the Pileated.

[tupe]

There isn't one I don't like there, Wayne. Wow! I like the colors in the Blue jay shot, but they could all be favorites.

[apatchy]

Excellent series and what a great weekend, hard to pick a favourite so i`ll go for all of them.:)

[Blackburnian]

Good seing you today!

Where's that wduck flight shot?????
