My number one bucket-list bird. I hope to get close enough for a shot like this someday!

You and this Flycatcher have become real chummy as of late, Dave.

Best hummy photo I think I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. So beautiful!

Perfect Pine Warbler. You got the yellow coloring just right, Rob.

Gorgeous shot of a bird that's difficult to photograph!

Lame-Duck wrote in post #18733938 (external link)
I am totally amazed at how many wonderful shots are continuously posted on this thread, and the few other threads that I currently subscribe too here on POTN. It's overwhelming trying to keep up with all the outstanding images that continuously get posted up here. I've been away for 3 days, and in that time period, I had around 350 notifications to view and try to comment on when I returned late in the afternoon, and turned on my computer. From now until the end of January, I'll be away from my computer four days a week, and as much as I love to comment on many of the fine shots on the various threads, I'm going to have to settle on using the "like" button almost exclusively. I bring this up because I've enjoyed making comments on the many images that really appeal to me, but I simply won't be able to continue doing that...there simply isn't the time. It bothers me considerably, but that's what I'm going to have to do.

Sorry to see you go, but you'll be back... bigger... stronger.... faster :p

The way the environment wraps around the bird really brings this shot together well

I'm about to hang it up for a while, as Fall migration is pretty much over, and my little one is demanding more and more time :) It's getting cold out already, yet all of the trees still have their green leaves.

One last Cape May Warbler hold-out:
