Now, that's one I have never seen!

Cloudy or not, this is a gorgeous shot :-)

Thank you very much! The female Eastern Bluebird is highly underrated. :-)

Really nice close-up, Richard! Excellent sharpness, and a nice creamy green background.

Nice shot of that fishing rig, Robert. :p

This is really a nice one, fotoi. This fully dressed drake mallard is a beauty. All the beautiful shades of color and swirls in the water, make for a very attractive photo.

Another Ring-billed Gull for me. :rolleyes:

Magnificent. Gulls are beautiful birds richly detailed and this headshot highlights them.
Beautiful photo Melissa

Fantastic series Marco
Really well captured and conveys a portion of the life of a kestrel beautifully
