These birds are so vibrant in their Spring Colors that even on a rainy day like today at 1000 ISO without flash, they still look dressed up. Can hardly wait for the sun to shine:rolleyes: Shots came out a little noisy but instead of noise reduction I just used the blur tool to smooth the BG. Thanks for looking and CC welcome.

Nice captures Gary. I'm still waiting to see some.

I just used the blur tool to smooth the BG

I've been doing a lot of that lately myself. :D

Nice, Gary. I like the first comp the best. It's a great inquiring pose, like he's checking you out for danger.
