The instant this shot popped up on my screen, I knew it was yours, long before I saw your name. Your style of excellence is immediately recognizable. This is an outstanding, sharp shot of the Northern Parula, Steve! It compels the viewer to stare at it for quite some time. Heck, I even like the spider web in the photo.

What can I say, Mike. Your comments are so uplifting and appreciated. Thanks so much for all the time and effort you put in to support all of us twitcher photographers here!

This is a lovely capture of the pair of Buffleheads. The purple and green tints in the water add a nice touch to the image.

I forgot all about your state's water shortage. I sure hope things change so your waterfowl don't head off in another direction.

Nashville Warbler, Fall Migration

They are not native and introduced by trade.

Very nice!

Truly a wonderful capture, Steve! You always manage to capture the birds in unusually attractive positions. This one is a perfect example of that.

You give me way too much credit, Steve! However, I truly thank you for your kind compliment!

Thank you many times over, Steve. I really enjoy your descriptive compliments. They are rewarding and I frequently try to use your remarks to make other photos more attractive.

Thanks for the kind words Lame Duck. Much appreciated.

The shot of the wagtail is a heavy crop and - believe it or not - is in colour.
