Two nice captures! I think Cooper's Hawk on the first one.

Great capture of the Cormorant!

Excellent shot of the Oxpecker!

That's a beauty!

Great shot of a difficult bird to see!

Another good one Tom!

Thank you Sogs. Happy Holiday.

Did a Christmas Bird Count in Carson City, NV and got a couple of nice raptors. Sharp-shinned Hawk (90% sure) and Merlin.

Best not to do it for now. We want to be together on this lest we split the group.

I said that wrong, I meant, when you start it. Now would not be the right time. ;-)a

I now agree with Ray. We can have a Bird Portraits (3) instead of a dated one. But hopefully Pekka will create it. He will be able to transfer the subscribers to the new thread, and lock the old one so we don't have two active threads for the same purpose.

Oops, forgot to post this earlier today. It's a shot of a double-crested cormorant regulating its body temperature. Enjoy!
Question: Are pictures enlarged to 100% when they're posted here and is the exposure increased? Also, is it me? My pics look brighter here than in my software image. I had to go back and darken this shot to get it to where it is now. I didn't have to do that on another site. Not complaining really, just curious.

Very nice, Mike! I really like Ruddys...will yours hang with you until it gets its breeding colors?

Many thanks, Steve. We always have a few that hang around and give us a look at their beautiful breeding colors. But the majority of them clear out.

A modest proposal - with 2023 fast approaching, should we start a new bird portrait thread called Post your 2023 Bird Portraits?

The current thread is only one and a half years old and already has 1425 pages with 21,367 replies. That is enough to slow posting response significantly. Maybe we should go to annual threads along the lines of the "Post your 20xx Landscapes" threads.

Just wondering what everybody thinks about that.

Here is a Blue Jay looking over its shoulder.
