Thanks much LD, appreciate it. These are not native and only established here around 30 years ago, but I'd say this one looks very well fed which I'm sure contributes to his 3d look!

We have many established here in the valley, EB. I see them frequently.

He/she is going to build a home for the family with no nails, no hammer, and no saw. And it will stand up to almost anything mother nature throws at it. Very nice shot, Paul!

Thanks for the kindly comment Mike.
Those Buntings sure are colorful Birds.
Happy trails.

Many thanks Mike.
Those Caracara's are magnificent creatures.
It will be exciting monitoring and photographing that construction site.:lol:

Sterling capture, Paul! What a great setting! But I'm not sure this shot would qualify as a bird in flight. :-P:lol:

Thanks very much LD, appreciate it. Ducks in flight are proving both harder and more fun to capture than I expected!

Super shot of the Great Egret. Gorgeous light and, as usual, great exposure and detail. Gotta love that late afternoon sun at this time of year!
