Finally took a few new ones.....

but when it came time to download them I realized I couldn't because a couple of months ago when I had my computor cleaned of a virus my DPP file was purged (along with a few others) and I have lost the original disk to install it. Guess I'll have to try to find one somewhere.

Anyway, I finally got myself motivated yesterday to take some shots, the first in several months, under near perfect conditions which was a plus, however, due to the above setback you will just have to settle for a few more from last year.

Sorry!

C&C always welcome.

Love that last shot! All of them are great, though.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, notwithstanding, those are really good.
I like the 3rd bird, what is it?

Great stuff, Mike! What's that third one?

C'mon Eric, you know a Rose-Breasted Grosbeak when you see one! They're mainly summer birds up my way
And Mike, the IQ on these is excellent. The eye clarity is simply outstanding and consistently right on.

Love them all but 3 & 4 are really special! NICE!

Thanks Ian Nope, never seen one of those here but now I want to!

I love all!
Great job.

Great series, Mike. Some great backgrounds. The framing of the last is especially nice. Really enjoyed these.

Those are all super, well done. Were these all in the wild or at a park?

Which lens did you use for these--fantastic shots.

Thanks Matt!

Mark, appreciate it.

Thanks a lot Eric.

Thanks Craig.

AE-1, thank you.

Ian, thank you and thanks for answering the questions on ID for me.

Thanks Levina, appreciate the remarks.

No Angle, thanks and they were all taken in the wild, which means my backyard with some driftwood perches by the feeders and using a portable Outhouse blind to hide in.

Litespeed, thank you. #1 and 2 were taken with the canon 300L and the rest were taken with the 70-200L. I think #3 was at 150mm while #4 and 5 were wide open.

Those are amazing

Thanks talloulou, I appreciate the kind words.

Colorful images and BGs Mike... excellent work. Love that oriole and jay shot.
