Superb shot of this big guy, Steve! Your image is so sharp and clear looking. It appears as though you managed to get fairly close to him.

Oh boy, Steve! You nailed this one so nicely! Pin point sharp!

Thanks for your kind words on both of these images, Mike! Good eye, too...I wasn't on top of the Pileated but was closer than I usually am.

You certainly captured that killer like appearance, typical of the accipiter's, with this really nice Cooper's hawk portrait shot, Jimmy!


Truly a majestic pose that you captured with this shot, Joe! Excellent work!

Both of these are excellent captures, Cap'n! Very nice work!


Here again, we are privileged to view one of your superb captures, Paul! I surely do enjoy seeing your work!


Lovely capture, Shortaction! Very sharp image!

Thanks LD

Hi Lester...

This is a really beautiful photograph of an equally beautiful Kestrel. Love the nice warm overall color.

This was a first for me. Never seen a Yellow House Finch before.

Richard...this shot is really an eye pleaser! Very sharp image, excellent background, and barbed wire (I like it in bird shots).

You're to kind Mike, thanks for the compliment.
Here's the video of the Anhinga ingesting the Fish.
We may have to administer the Heimlich Maneuver.

Wow, Paul...it's amazing how the anhinga managed to get that fish down the hatch. I would have bet against it. Those two turtles were even surprised! Terrific video!

Thank you Mike, I was lucky enough to have a very laid back subject. It had no cares in the world at that time.
