Rain always adds a nice element in bird photography for me and I really like these Harv. Great pair of shots.

Very nice, Harvey! The light and the rain really help this one out.

The rain adds nicely to the bird, the creamy bg and that very interesting perch. Very nice!

I really like those, the birds expression matches the weather, how'd you manage that? :)

Beautiful shots Harv and the dull lighting didn't damage the images whatsoever.

Thanks a lot, buddy. Don't be a wuss... get out there and shoot. The perch was a gift from a friend.

Thanks a lot, Don. This is the only lighting I can shoot in at this location due to perpetual back lighting.
