Hi Russ...

Great photographs of this beautiful bird. I especially like the first one for its simplicity, pose and "cuteness" factor. :-)

Tom

- many thanks, Tom - appreciate the response :-)

Excellent separation of the sparrow from the background, Bill! It gives the bird a very 3D, lifelike appearance!

Fantastic, sharp close-up shot of the oxpecker, Jorgac! The detail is excellent.
