Such a beautiful shot of the yellow warbler. So timid and often hiding but you caught it in flight. Very nice, Jose.

Stupendous shot of the Great-billed Heron taking off, RAL! Very appealing image!

Thanks for your kind words, Mike!

I'm not posting this pic because I like it, I don't, it sucks. I'm posting it because of the object that's above its beak. It's driving me crazy guessing at what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas about it? I didn't notice it when I took the picture, only in post.

It's a clam shell. They drop them on a hard surface to break them open.

Time waits for no one!

Really enjoy shots of ospreys on the hunt - they're like flying bear traps!

Thanks Bill. It's hit and miss with these guys. It's breeding season so there are a lot of territorial disputes between the males which brings them out of cover and out into the open and brings some opportunities to photograph them in the air.

Thanks. I wasn’t sure because its belly wasn’t pristine white as I have seen in others.

That's because it's a juvenile, lots of brown and that 'necklace' as well.

Still waiting for the wisdom they promised would be worth getting old for.

Great shot, Ed! I'm pretty sure there is an unlucky fish swimming just in front of the Osprey.
