Amazing tack sharp close-up shot of the Griffon vulture, Vassilis!

What a handsome ol' boy this fellow is, Richard. This shot against the buttery green background is really super! Great work.

Kind of humorous, Paul. His wing look too small for his body. The camera can fool ya sometimes.

Great shot of ol' Willie Wagtail, Pippan! You nailed the sharpness.

Exceptionally nice capture of the Pied Heron, Pippan! Tack sharp.

What a strikingly beautiful bird this Crimson finch is Pippan! Very nice capture.

Two beautiful captures of the roseate spoonbill, Kirk! Very vivid colors.

These are two excellent captures, Bill! The sharpness of both birds is spot on.

Outstanding sharp image of the Lesser Goldfinch, Tom! The lighting is so nice.

Thanks Mike.That sure was a funny pose. Happy trails.

These are great! I've never been able to get very close to Roseate Spoonbills. They're always way out wading.

Thank, you, I appreciate it. I'm just lucky to have the locations I have, they seem to offer fairly close views. This one was about 20 yards out.

This Barred Owl was perched in a tree (trunk on right) about 12' off the ground. The unfortunate Red Squirrel had climbed about 8' up the trunk when it noticed the owl. The squirrel headed back down but as soon as it got to the ground the owl dove head first onto its prey.

I was having coffee this morning at the kitchen table when I caught a blur outside in my peripheral vision. The blue jay never had a chance. The cooper's exploded out of nowhere.

What an outstanding capture of the Little Pied Cormorant, Pippan! Your razor sharp image stands out beautifully from the green background.
