A very nice Oenanthe oenanthe (not Fringilla coelebs). You did well to get so close!

Beautiful Bill. Love the background=pure creamy bokaliciousness.

Thanks Robert. I need to play with the settings I used on this one. I had to pull it from darkness believe it or not. I'm surprised it "polished" so well.

Inspeqtor has some hesitation in believing this is a juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk.
What do you guys think?

I have inside knowledge on this hawk. I've seen the parents driving him away and I'm pretty sure they are RTHs. This young one was image in a walnut tree in the front yard and I've never seen one perch like this. It was almost 90F so maybe a pose to cool off?

He loves his tree ;-)a

Nice shot. I think you are correct about cooling off.

This bird is a tree huger. I believe it to be a juvenile red-tailed hawk.

Great shot of the little turds. I'm sure they are keeping their parents quite busy, probably wearing them out.

That's an extremely kind comment, Greg, but I really don't deserve it. I've long had a passion for US/Canadian birds because they're so much prettier and more interesting than UK ones. I've been to a few other places too, but there are many, many countries of whose birds I know absolutely nothing - the Caribbean and South America especially.

I would never, ever argue with jack on any bird names. I'd loose every time :lol:
