Haven't had much to share lately. Hope you enjoy these! These guys are difficult to get into any decent light.

Wonderful shots Chris! They're beautiful birds. I keep hoping to see these guys down here for winter. I guess I'll have to wait another year.

Wow - stunning images, beautifully framed, great colours and totally nailed focus - all great though, for me, the second image is the stand out (a wall hanger for sure).

Exceptional shots Chris... the natural detail you captured is like being there... getting the "ground scratchers" image perched on a branch is not always easy. ;)

By the time I went from a RAW file, to uploading to Flickr (JPEG), to resizing for the forum some of the detail has softened. Is there a gotcha in the workflow to Flickr that might be softening my images? Thx in advance to you guys!

Absolutely excellent Chris!
These guys are difficult to find in the open and tend to perch for only seconds before moving on. Especially this time of year. I think the 2nd portrait is my favorite, but all 3 are very well executed.
