Very nice Mike.
The colours, background and that backward looking pose. All work together beautifully

Ed that's a beauty.
Purposeful look on the heron is so intent.
Lovely overall composition.

Welcome back Graham :-), and what a lovely shot. Classic pose.
Interesting feather colours
I really like that. Very lifelike. Like being in the scrub observing it.

Dave that's so nice.
Composition, colours, details. Lovely

Wow. Magnificent close-up.
Awesome experience that would be

Thanks Richard. I plan to do a couple of flight experiences there soon and am hoping they fly him, must be absolutely incredible.

Wow...incredible sharpness and detail, John! The detail in the eye is so amazing.

Very nice shots of the Sandhills, Mark! I'll be getting shots of them at the Merced Refuge a little later in the fall and early winter.

Beautiful eagle portrait, Ed!

Thank you Mike.

Wow, that is a great shot of an unusual species Ulrike!

Thanks, Pippan! Not sure if they are unusual, but they are certainly difficult to spot. Hope I will be able to capture a male one day as well as they look just stunning :-)


Living in a beautiful part of the world!

Been away dealing with hurricane Ian so I haven't posted in a few days but I'm back on track with these two recent shots. In the first pic either a little egret or a snowy egret, it's hard to tell them apart unless they're standing next to each other and a roseate spoonbill. A willet in the 2nd pic.

Nice captures! FYI Little Egrets are in Eurasia and are extremely rare on the north Atlantic coast.

I like how you flipped it, and nice shot!

Yes, I did.
Thanks, K9Kirk.

Neat shot. I assume you have it upside down to test if we are looking closely?

Thanks.
You are correct and also I want to test whether my monitor can rotate 180° as it ads.

Thank you, sogs. Very happy you like it!

Very nicely photographed, ozulrike! I like the bird's pose.

Ha ha ha...love it. When I first looked at this shot, I thought, what's wrong with this egret's beak...plus it's eye is all deformed. Then I saw the perfect reflection and realized what you had done. Very clever RAL. I really enjoyed this photo.

Great capture, flurp! It looks like you really got pretty close to this vulture. I'll bet you could smell him/her.:-P

Thanks Mike. I had heard that there were some showing up, so I took a drive to Lodi to see for myself. I'll go back a few times over the winter once they're there in bigger numbers.
Here's another Sandhill Crane from just after sunrise.

Very nice capture, Mark! That early morning, and late afternoon light just can't be beat.

A couple shots taken at Ft. De Soto this morning. The wildlife appears well.
A sanderling taking a stroll along the shoreline. In the 2nd pic is a reddish egret scouting hidden lagoon.

These are both terrific shots, Kirk, but the reddish egret scouting the hidden lagoon is a "killer" shot for sure!
