From this photo, it almost looks like the pelican it going to devour both the fish and the pelican. Great capture, Shalu.

Thanks Mike...He only gave me one chance and then it was all blurred wings headed away.

One change was all you needed, Tom.

This portrait of the Gambel's quail is quite captivating.

This is a very stately looking chap, Shalu. I like the sort of high-key look of this image. It's really nice.

We don't normally see Cedar Waxwings in our area...it has been at least 10 years since I saw a few of them. But today a large flock was eating the hackberries out of my tree as I did yard work & so I grabbed a few shots.
