I always enjoy your warbler shots, but these Prothonitary images are especially nice. You've done an excellent job capturing that unique shade of yellow.

Fantastic eye candy, Dave!

Thanks very Mich Ken and Mike !
The Prothonotary is my favourite. They are rare, here in Canada…something like an estimated 20 mating pairs.We are on the northern end of their breeding range. I’m fortunate to live near one of the provincial parks that has a nesting area.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Black Swan - an unusual find hereabouts!

That's beautiful. Very graceful
Is that an import?
Wasn't aware you had black ones I thought just us?

Simply amazing
You've captured that so nicely.
Sort of photo one could hang on wall and just gaze at.

Fantastic close-up shot, Tom! I'll bet you could almost reach out and touch him.

Tom, you produce portraits of birds better than if you had them in a studio posing! Really great work.

Hi Mike & Neal...

Thanks very, very much for the kind words.

Hiking through Redden State Forest and came across this White-eyed Vireo hopping through the bushes and making a lot of noise. He seemed to be less scared of me and more cautiously curious as to what I was doing while photographing him.
