Post your Bird Portraits

We spent some time at a resort in the Dominican Republic. It was nice but not the best place for bird pictures. In fact, the best place for birding in the resort was in the main lounge. Here are a couple of shots of the resident grackle.

I'd rather not do it this way but with a bird that's been chased by other people the last thing I wanted to do was be one of them just to get a picture so this is how I do it.

Right! People who flush them especially so early in the season are on my bongo list.

Yep. They have to be pretty tired at that point.

Not exactly portraits but these owls continue to absorb me.

I found these two quite close to each other. - the one looks to be a female (on the hay bales) and the one hiding a male. They were on opposite sides of the road a few hundred meters apart.

Both taken at quite a distance (snow drifts and pvt property) handheld with a 1.4 converter.

I prefer to be in the bush with the animals than a crowded city.
