Nice shots BTW.

The yellows and greens in the Jay shot add some nice complimentary colors the the bird's blues. Nice one!

Two great shots here, Gary. I really like the Blue Jay, and the pose presented by the woodpecker shows great detail.

I like both but the Woody is simply gorgeous and well captured Gary.

[plsurfer]

The woodpecker is sweet! really sharp

[Shar824]

Great shots Gary :).......our RHWP's are still staying in the tops of the trees trying to grab the last of the pecans and what few Jays we had.. I haven't seen in a while (I think the brat across the road has used them for target practice :mad:



Sharon

[HWP]

Both are fantastic shots Gary but the jay pose is the one for me. Excellent little bird shots.

Thank You Ray

I'm happy you liked it!!!:)

[tom ryan]

Two dandy birds...the jay shows well against that background. Both show nice color and detail ...that wooodie looks similiar to our Gila but with a bit more color on the head. Well Done!

I like both shots, you did a good job of bringing out the red and blue colours respectively in each bird. #1 is probably the better of the 2, as I think the branches in the background in #2 are slightly distracting (can't always be helped as they say). I'd be stoked with shots like this.

Dave

[Sindri Skulason]

Outstanding shots as always Gary. Both thumbs up! :-)

Sweet shots Gary! Love the woody's camo and the pose is terrific - funny, though, as it looks glued to the branch.
