Lovely shot of the Blue Warbler Dave, was this shot at Point Pelee by any chance? I saw a few of these there during the September Fall migration.

Thanks Jose !
This was actually on my property. I live about a half hour from Pelee and 15 minutes from Rondeau Provincial Park, so we get a lot of warblers come through.

That's a beauty!

Thank you kindly Sogs.

Northern Cardinal
Happy trails.

They look like chicks in your backyard (if any), but they are noticeably smaller.

This is an A-Number-1 shot of the Red-shouldered Hawk, Paul! I really love it. By the way, I hope he got the marsh rat.

Nicely captured Great-tailed Grackle, fotoi! He's got an out of place feather sticking up from his head. I just want to reach in and pull that wild feather out.

Superb close-up of this common greenshank with a delightful meal, Cog! Tack sharp image, and so nice against the great blurred background.

This Pied-billed Grebe was photographed quite nicely, Steve! The colors in the water add a lot to this image.

The Hawk was close but no cigar, It missed the Rat.
A few moments later the Hawk did snatch-up a Frog.
