I'm sorry, I do not know. If so, it would be the first time I imaged one since I have only seen red-tailed hawks.

Thank you for your kind words!

Tack sharp image, Richard! I love this setting. Ya just can't beat a rusty ol' barbed wire fence for it's rustic appeal (at least in my opinion):-)

This blackbird lives in our garden, under a hedge hence the high ISO. He ihas some white feathers, which apparently is not that unusual. Sadly, it seems that because he is "different" he is shunned by other blackbirds. Nature is a bit like human nature sometimes...

Very nice capture, Terry! This is a form of leucism, and it is supposedly somewhat rare...however it is not nearly as rare as true albinism.

Many thanks, Mike!
I crossed a semi-frozen pond with snowshoes to get the shot.
He was trying to impress a potential mate nearby.
Cheers!

Great capture, Jimmy! He is displaying quite nicely. By the way...you are a much braver man than I am.:eek: No snowshoes on a semi frozen pond for me!

Wonderful capture of the Yellow Vented Bulbul, RAL! I like the tilted head. He looks kind of inquisitive.

A sandhill crane that I spotted coming out of the lake while riding my e-bike at Lake Myakka yesterday morning. He kept coming at me for a minute there. Made me a little nervous.

Two super nice sandhill crane shots, Kirk! We have a lot of these cranes in my area (at our wildlife refuges) but they have not been very approachable, at least for me.

Two outstanding shots of this little wren, Ken. I'm guessing they are a tough bird to get close to and photograph.

Thanks, Mike. You have to go barefoot like I do and put peanuts between your toes. Attracts them every time!
Ha, kidding!
