Beautiful, Richard! I think the featureless sky adds to the whole composition.

On my last day of birding in 2022, I was lucky to capture a Little Kingfisher (see Kingfisher thread), and with the sky a bit clearer today, I thought, why not start the new year and try to find it again? Couldn't believe my luck when he turned up after only a few minutes. He came even closer and was sitting just a few metres away on the border of the boardwalk. Such a vivid blue!!

Terrific shot of the double-decker Great Horned owls! All owls have been a challenge for me. So I congratulate you on this fine capture. Oh yeah...and Happy New year to you too!

Thank you, Mike! Let's hope this is your year for owls!

That's a beauty, nothing like a colorful sunset shot to set the mood.

Love this shot. I enjoy watching the little grebes going under and popping up.

I accidentally posted this under BIF so I'm reposting it where it should've been originally.
My last shot of 2022, an osprey enjoying his meal.
