Post your Bird Portraits (2)

Thank you Mike -- I've only seen the waxwings a couple of times this spring/early summer and I am looking forward to more opportunities.

A very unique shot, Dave. Well worth the wait I'm sure.

What a super cool shot, Dave! I wonder what kind of weed this guy is smoking?!

Thanks everyone ! does look like he was smoking !

Business has been good at the bath lately. There were two doves in here at first, but one had left by the time I had the camera.

Well I FINALLY got amongst the feast of normally rare (and endangered) Gouldian Finches that have been attracting birdos from far and wide to Lee Point, near Darwin, during their late afternoon feeding frenzy. Very, very satisfying.

Sadly, no, criminally, the area they are in is earmarked for imminent destruction to satisfy the greed of housing developers. The bull-dozers and jack-hammers are less than 100 metres from these feeding grounds and getting closer.

Very attractive shot of this little gal, Richard! Like all your shots, she is tack sharp.

Lame-Duck wrote in post #19389017
This shot really is an eye grabber, Richard! It's very sharp plus the eye contact is great. I'm sure he appreciates the cockatoos.

Thank you Mike. Your appreciation and comments are much appreciated

Red-winged blackbird on a cold morning. I had been trying to get this shot for a couple years.

Dave that's a beauty. Lovely to see and very well done.

Lemon-bellied Flycatchers are SO cute!

Pippan that's a lovely bird and beautiful composition.
There's something about the yellows in our Aussie birds. Probably just more of the green and gold of our landscape.

A bird with poise.
Very nice indeed.

Gilded Flicker showing off its gilding (decorative gold).

Wow. That really shows the magnificence of this bird and explains its naming.
I've never seen similar before.
Really highlights the detail when feathers are spread like this.
Very nicely captured Mike

Great capture! I saw a shot like this win an award. Was this you?

Very nice indeed.

Richard, your thoughtful, encouraging compliment is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. I never considered the idea of a wood duck having poise before. I'll have to give that some thoughtful consideration.

Exceptionally nice capture of this beautiful little northern parula, Steve! Very sharp and nicely separated from the background.

Thank you, Mike, for those kind comments!
