That's really beautiful. Demure came to mind.
Very nice

Beautiful. Sharp, colourful and detailed.
Water drops add to the appeal.

Yesterday we had a fairly large wind and rain storm but I was treated with a Red Tailed Hawk who was in the yard. I have never seen one in our yard before.

Caught that well.
Love these totally natural looking photos.
Beautiful bird.

They've got to eat rain hail or shine.
I always feel privileged when these sort of birds come by.

Very nice collection, happy to confirm that the Kinglets have returned to our area! We aren't too far from each other (2 hours, maybe?). Do you ever make it out to shoot at Assateague/Chincoteagu​e?

Snuck out this morning while baby was still asleep. There's been a Warbler of some sort sneaking around my backyard for the past day or two. Never really got a nice, clear shot, except for this one. Heavy crop, unfortunately. I think it's a Cape May; we've had a good number of these CMs around here this fall.

Very nicely framed by the foliage and quite sharp, in spite of the heavy crop and 840 mm and ISO 6400, impressive performance.

To me, it looks like a female Pine Warbler. They do seem to "sneak" a lot.
