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!

Thank you!

Great shot. Cool how the pattern in their feather's mimics tree bark.

I love its camouflage. It sits very still and wait for prey to come to it.

Nice set, the 1st shot is super!

Thank you!

Dare to be different.

Nicely done, fotoi. I like the degree of sharpening; it makes it look very near to real and the same goes for the color/vibrance. Good job!

Thanks, K9, really appreciate it. Yes, this lens is very sharp.

Nice shot of the roadrunner, Jack! It sure has been a long time since I've seen one.

There's always a black sheep (or swan in this case) in every group. Nice capture, Michael!

Great shot of these two Blue Jays, Bill! I think I see a Mockingbird in the background. They all really love the pond you built for them.

Lovely shot of the Orchard Oriole, Bill! Too bad we don't have them here on the west coast.

Wonderful capture of the Red-shouldered Hawk, Joe! The nice, soft, blurry background sets this guy off beautifully.
