That's a fine landing shot!

I found another shot of the same bird. Not sure if this will allow it to be identified.

Looks like a Ruddy Shelduck.

This young Cooper's hawk wasn't as good at flying as his siblings. While they were constantly flying in the vicinity this one decided to take a walk across an open yard. I'm guessing he was the youngest and will catch up to them soon.

Fine capture!

Your pic makes an ordinary bird look very nice.

What looks to be a sanderling going in for a snack.

Two great captures! I especially like the first one.

Beautiful Reddish capture Kirk. Happy trails.

Thanks a bunch, Paul.

Beautiful capture of the Common Bluethroat, Jan! If I listen carefully, I can almost hear his song. :p

Very attractive shot of the gull, Michael! All the somewhat blurry color of Barcelona really adds to the appeal of this image.

Wonderful Reddish Egret capture, Kirk! These Reddish Egrets have more photographic appeal than any other egret or herons, in my opinion.

Very nice wading Sanderling capture, Kirk!

Thanks, I agree.

Very nicely captured Tasmanian Native Hen, Stephen! They remind me of our mudhens (coots).

Thanks, sogs. People rarely realize how colorful starlings really are. They seldom get to see them up close.

This red roster means serious business. Terrific action shot, RAL!


Great close-up capture of the Hill Myna, RAL!


Well, I think I found it, Michael. It's called a Ruddy Shelduck. I think they are a beautiful looking species of waterfowl. I like their rich reddish brown color.


Nice close-up shot of the young Cooper's Hawk Jim! I think you're right about this youngster catching up to it's siblings soon.


Beautifully alluring shot of the Northern Mockingbird, Bill! That old pump has certainly become quite useful.:-)


Thanks to the old pump, this is another amazing shot of the cardinal, Bill!


Wonderful three shot close-up series of the Laughing Kookaburra, and the Tawny Frogmouth, Harry!

They sure can run fast! Nice captures.

Thanks for your kind words.
