Beautiful shot ot the White Ibis, Ed! Neat looking setting.

Very sharp, beautifully colored pigeon, Ray!

These are both smile shots, Kirk. Very nicely photographed!

Three beautiful finch shots, Lester! You photographed them quite nicely!

Super nice capture of both the Griffon and Cinereous vultures in the falling snow, Vassilis!

Very nice shot of this resting hen wood duck showing off her balancing ability, fotoi!

Terrific flight shot of this pair of Graylags', Gerd!

Outstanding capture of this Anna's Hummingbird, Tom! I'd call it a perfect shot!

Thanks, Mike! I was hoping they were smile shots.

Mike that's a very attractive shot. Beautiful composition.
The variations in water from fore to background is interesting & attractive.
They surely are beautiful ducks

Beautifull pigeon and photo Ray
They're invasive here and one tends to look down on them, but they're lovely birds. Well ones like yours

Kirk this bird is now famous for it's antics with all the comments
Amazing stance
Really beautiful images.

Love the setting and the softness to the background.
Excellent composition.

Magnificent wildlife, nature photo.
You've captured that so beautifully Vassilis

Many thanks Mike. It's interesting watching them in that pose. You're probably on the money there
The light is very kind at moment. Our bright, harsh sun isn't the kindest on images

Thank you very much, avondale87.

Wonderful pintail capture, Steve! A bit of an unusual confrontation between the two drakes. The onlooker doesn't seem to be involved with the disagreement.

Nice shot, Paul. I've thinking about getting down to the Everglades to capture some in the wild at sunset. They're such pretty birds.

Sparrow at my feet. I didn't try to get lower because I thought it would fly away.

Less of a good hiding spot this time...

This is from the same noob outing as my previous image, same hawk, just different spot. Not sure I dig the crop / composition and even edit here but it's a bird that can be identified at least

Might need to find a different editing process as the Linux workflow kind of sours things (darktable to convert the raw to .tiff then gimp to do basic processing, very clunky but somewhat doable).

Have been watching some info on bird photography as well as wildlife.

Excellent capture!
