Stunning shot! How did you manage to get so near this bird? I have never found them at all confiding.

Really nice shot, Mike. I like the iridescence in the head.

Thank you kindly, Jack. I've always noticed that iridescence, especially with mallard drakes.

Thank you very much, Archibald!

I see you are from Calgary!
I used to live there but moved to south of Vulcan a few years ago!

Happy birding!

Thanks! Yes, I'm in Calgary. Nice country out there around Vulcan. I don't get out there as often as I would like.

Exceptionally nice shot in all respects, Shalu.


Nice one, Tom. The cactus wren is definitely a well camouflaged bird.


Stunning capture, Vassilis.


This one's definitely a 10, Bill.


Stellar shot Tom...ooops, I mean Dave. I like the attentive posture you captured.

Thank you Mike.
