Thank you very much, Mike! I tried to, but the camera decided to activate eye AF instead :lol:

Beautiful shot, Mike! The tail is very impressive :lol:

Many thanks, Shalu. Don't ya just hate those cameras that always want to focus on the eyes?;-)a:lol:

I think I have the ID correct, but they are rarely seen in Texas. This would be a life bird for me, so any knowledgeable confirmation would be appreciated. Thanks

Nice one Shalu. It looks like you got him in the "sweet light."

I like this one, Jack. The cross lighting worked out really nicely here. Good work.

Very nicely photographed close-up of this hummer, Sibil. The bird is very sharp, and the many colors in this image are beautiful.

He kept using the same perches and let people get quite close, but the sun angle wasn't great. This shot was more typical.

Very attractive, nicely composed shot, Shalu! I see that you had to crank up the ISO for this one. I'll bet you had some noise to contend with.

Very nicely composed shot, Bill. That one white tail feather confuses me as to what kind of blackbird it is.

Great shot! Effective framing, nice colors and textures!

Thanks Archibald, Unfortunately this one does not come out in the open whilst it's light. I've seen it about a dozen times in the past month, he's always in the same place.

Probably nearing the end of Painted Buntings for this spring. We were lucky to see a group this morning.

Two drakes, I think. I would expect a hen to have a mottled beak.
