A-Number-1 shot of this sun soaker upper, Richard! He is definitely displaying a look of contentment.

This Scarlet or possibly Flame Robin is a real beauty, Richard! You really captured him so nicely!

Many thanks Mike. As much as I love our wrens it was so nice to see some robins for a change

Remarkable capture of the Common Grackle, Jimmy! Great job.

Many thanks, Mike!
Until the light hit him, I thought it was all black.

Another one of those birds which aren’t well liked, but are actually quite attractive when photographed well. And you’ve photographed this one very well.

Very much appreciated your generous feedback, kd_reno!
He sure turned out to be an interesting fellow

Very nice sharp capture of the Eurasian Tree Sparrow, RAL! He stands out so nicely.

Remarkable capture of the Common Grackle, Jimmy! Great job.

Super nice shot of this baby Least Bittern, Paul! Terrific sharpness and color.

A-Number-1 capture of the two Sandhill Cranes, Shortaction!

Lovely capture of the Scimitar Babbler, Jai! I really like the composition of this shot.

Primo shot of the Little Pied Cormorant, Pippan. It certainly has the Cormorant look, but really does appear little (hence the name ).

Excellent shot of the drake Mallard, fotoi! He appears to be well fed.

Beautiful captures of the Sanderling, the Snowy Egret, and the Laughing Gull, Kirk. Very nice shooting!

Stellar shot of the Dartford Warblers, Lester! You definitely nailed the sharpness.

Terrific capture of this beauty, Ed! And he's even banded.

Lovely capture of the Purple Gallinule, Joe! Love those huge feet, and full length yellow socks.

Very nice capture, Tom! Could it be that this guy coughed up an owl pellet?

What a beauty, SYS! Excellent work!

Thank you Mike
