Great shots, all. I love the sunning one; we should start a thread of those; they are so comical.

Lots of activity back there Kenn, thanks for sharing these great shots. It looks like you got very close to the Coopers Hawk.

Great shots and a nice variety Kenn. You still amaze me with the shots you get with the equipment you use.

Great shots, Kenn. Love the last one. I get the feeling that dad is looking for a little sympathy because he's really hearing it from mom and the kids :lol:

Thanks for sharing.


All I want is just a little more than I'll ever have.

Thank you all for your comments, ...we love to share our birds, and very much appreciate your encouragement.

Al - We really love the sunning shots too, so if you or anybody else here starts a Sunning thread we'll be sure to contribute.
It just so happens that our last Blog entry was about sunning:

Thanks again everybody,
