Nice Variety, Nice Detail and color

[EdV]

Nice shots, all. But I am really starting to like the "little brown jobs", The Sparrows, more and more. Matter of fact, I just framed an 8x10 of a "common" Song Sparrow.

Very nice detail. Well done.

Excellent series of nicely captured images...tack sharp with beautiful colors. Like em all Wayne.

Hi, Your Mallard looks like a hybrid American Black Duck x Mallard. They don't usually show as much "Mallard" but it seems to be one anyway.

[bromm]

Was gonna ask if it was a hybrid as the body color is different than male mallards. Great detaile shots of a variety of birds Wayne, well done.

[Wayne Wood]

Thanx for all the kind words everyone , and as for the Mallard X Black duck hybrid , I was pretty sure it was a hybrid what with the darker colors and the missing white neck ring but really didn't think to bother mentioning it ,,, I see so many of these hybrids especially this winter and spring

Excellent series. Great work as always Wayne. :-)

[Blackburnian]

Great series Wayne,

That Drake must think is a commorant with those stretched wings!

[dancad]

Good job on the sparrows Wayne, and the Songster is looking rather plump! I really like the Junco, a personnal favorite species of mine from the sparrow family...

[cfcRebel]

Fantastic series Wayne! Beautiful variety of birds. Love the Tree sparrow. Would love to see one myself.

The song sparrow in #6 looks fat (cold maybe). Good shots!
