I'm sure WOW is not enough for this set Gary.....so WOW!!
Obviously Thai birds, but what a neat group of them. The Frogmouths always make me laugh and yours are no exception.
What a stunner the Broadbill is! Your captures are probalby the first of this bird I've seen and they only make me want to see more. The colors on this guy are abosulutely stunning and the detail you obtained make these 2 images the clear winner of the set in my mind.
The Bulbul is also quite colorful and cute with his "gotta hang on" posture; and the Bulbul is another exceptional capture. The use of flash on the Bulbul really make is stand out from the background, and adds the only negative I see in any of them that being the perch shadow at the bottom of the image. Very small price to pay for the beauty you achieved. Outstanding all!

You see, when photographs like each and every one of these are posted, I feel inadequate and unworthy of sharing my work.
