He's certainly got you in his sights Mike.

Lovely portrait of a handsome bird.

Cheers

Dennis

Thank you very much, Dennis. This guy does indeed have me in his sights. He departed seconds after I got this shot.

Probably wants a cut of the profits!

Pipan, he just doesn't realize that there are not profits.

Wonderful capture of the colorful Woody Mike.

Many thanks, Paul. He flew off just seconds after getting this shot.

Amazing duck Mike.
That pose really grabs one's attention.
Very nicely composed

Richard, we are so fortunate to have this beautiful duck species flourishing here in California. I thank you kindly for your very thoughtful, encouraging compliment.

Fantastic portrait and pose, Mike!
Excellent straight-on eye contact
Love the warm light, color, detail & background separation

You are too kind, Jimmy. I most definitely appreciate the wonderful kudos. Thank you very much!

Well, I'm certain he would have been happy with you if he saw the results! Great pose and image. Very nicely done, Mike.

Ha, ha...thank you very much for the kind and encouraging compliment, Steve. I'm always so rewarded with your thoughtful remarks.

Terrific shot...beautifully composed, Cog! I surely do like this one.
Both of these Indian silverbill shots are outstanding captures, Cog! Very nicely composed.

Thanks a lot, Mike! Much appreciated.

Wow...what a vividly colored Fairy Wren, Dennis. This guy is truly gorgeous. Great shot!

What a charming shot this is Paul. Mama and her little bumble bees! It is quite an attractive capture.

Wow...this shot is definitely a winner, fotoi! It is so beautiful and nicely composed!

What a crack'in shot, Dave! It would look beautiful hanging on the wall in anyone's house.

Gorgeous, Tom! What an eye grabber.

This shot is a real beauty, Steve! I remember loving my 40D. This shot proves how nice a camera it is...especially when coupled with the Canon 70-200mm lens.

Such a stunning close-up shot of this mature bald eagle, Ed!

Thank you for the kind words Mike.
We were surprised to see Whistling Ducklings this late in their hatching routine.
Happy trails.

Simply awesome, Paul! You manage to get so many of these incredible shots. I definitely take my hat off to you.

Thank you for the most kindly compliment Mike.
Luck was on my side that day. Happy trails.

Beautiful photo. Someone should write a song about that bird.

I was thinking of this song. No, we have no ferals up here (well, no feral birds, lots of feral people).

Yes, very good.
My mind was elsewhere with you suggestion Pippan, but I'd better be civil
Being feral they're not very welcome

It's amazing how birds can toss/flip a fish to get it lined up.
