Shar824 Cream of the Crop  More info | Aug 23, 2010 09:00 | #2 Chris these are all great shots, I believe the one you need help with the ID on is a redpoll, at least that's what it looks like to me. Not sure which variety it is though, either the common redpoll or the hoary redpoll. Sharon

Aug 24, 2010 10:13 | #6 Thanks for the ID Sharon! And the nice comments too. I always wish I had an 800mm when I'm shooting! I'll try to link some more pics later. Chris

Here's a few more. First the Kingfisher with a catch. She beat the fish on the dead tree for a few minutes to kill it before swallowing.     I snuck up on this Yellowlegs........  And scared the crap out of him!   Chris

I lived there for 8 years and never saw one. They're too skittish to get good pics of them around here, so I guess I'll have to go back to AK to get pics Jeff

Anchorage set a record this summer for most consecutive days with rain. Approx 29 days! Chris
