Banded Stilt, coming into breeding colours

Excellent shot, Graham. The banded stilt is a cool looking bird. Our black-necked stilt is a very common bird in my area.

I've always called the GHO the 'king of the forest'. He is king of the desert too

Wow...what a great GHO shot, Robert. I'm envious of that shot.

This is my custom designed vest in case you have not seen it, makes for fast deployment and super easy to handhold shots without worrying about the tripod

What a load out! And yes, love the vest. So purpose built.
Plus even with that loud out you're still very mobile.
Let's hope that image won't be needed later down the road with an insurance adjuster.

Sweet owl. Hopefully I will see some in Costa Rica. I have not seen any yet there.

Thank you Rob.
I got 5 species of owl in CR, but owls were my focus on that trip, and I'd hired a wildlife biologist and the noted CR wildlife photographer
Chris Jimenez to help me find them.

You'll come back with many photographic treasures-you always do

American goldfinches are getting darker and showing some black on the head. Unfortunately here in Texas, I won't see them in breeding plumage.
