Very nice capture, Steve! I wonder if the Ruppell's Griffon Vulture's eyes are a bit too big for it's stomach?

Wonderful capture of the Long-tailed Tit, Pantry! Beautifully composed.

Thank you, again, much appreciated !

a photograph is nothing without a story

Very attractive shot of this Black Crowned Night Heron, Paul! The yellow flowers add a nice touch of color to the overall appeal of the photo.

Very cute shot of this female (?) Superb fairy Wren, Richard! Not often do ya see a feeding bowl big enough to walk inside of.

Very nicely captured shot of the gray catbird, John! Great separation from the blurry green background.

Terrific shot, Richard! It just goes to show that people aren't the only ones who have to deal with squawking kids.

Wow...what an incredibly difficult job it must be to keep them all fed! I wonder if they ever give any up for adoption? Great shot, John!

Very cute shot, sogs! Nicely photographed!

Great close-up shots of both the Red-tailed hawk and the Screech Owl, flurp!

Two excellent captures, flurp! I'm especially fond of the Goldfinch...love all the color. It would make a nice wall hanger.

Many thanks for the compliment Mike.
I lucked-out. It was a lovely setting with decent lighting.
Happy trails.

These are delightful John. Beautifully photographed
