Good shots! The imm little blue portrait has the right amount of DOF and best composition IMO.

The wet look really suits the grackle nicely! Nice series.

All these are nice. I don't think I've seen a better Kingfisher shot either. :)

Doing good Billy, all are excellent captures and that 2X TC generally degrades the shots. Well done.

This is an excellent series and the quip 'Crab meeting it's maker'
Interesting detail feather on the 'Boat-Tailed Grackle' I have a shot of one of these birds that I snapped when in Florida late last year, now I know what ID it is, thanks.
Well done Billy, nice ones.
