That's an interesting and beautifully composed photo.

Beautiful rich colours and details in the plumage.

Thank you very much, I always appreciate a nice comment. I was concerned that I'd pushed the clarity too much. I don't even see that kind of detail with my own eyes but if the camera sees it .....

Great blue heron & gull. It looks like the heron got into a scrap with someone. That's a pretty big split on the side of its face.

Nice capture of the Rusty!

Thanks for the comment.

The Rusty Blackbird is not common around here particularly at this time of year.
There was a bit of a crowd on the trail this afternoon hoping for it to make another appearance.

Nice capture, Ed! This guy surely is a flasher dresser with all those colored bands.

You captured this crow very nicely, Ed! It seems that they are frequently difficult to expose correctly.
