An excellent set of some difficult shots to get. The Grackle looks like it's coming out of the screen.

Very nice set with nice backgrounds.

Fantastic set of shots here! That Pileated is something spectacular, and I love the Kite going "lawn dart" :)

Excellent series Jim. I particularly like the bittern with the open bill and the large feet of the gallinule.
