Summer in the land of the Parrots. You know when they are about because you cannot fail to hear them. When its comes to finding them in the top of a tree, its not easy.

Raid, that eye is piercing! Great capture of a very colorful, noisy, bird!

Certainly not the prettiest bird you've shot right there Joel. ;) Nice shot nonetheless.

That pheasant shot is superb, Joel! I only have one pheasant shot and it is of the bird walking down the road. Is this your first in flight? I don't recall you posting one before but I'm not in this thread too often lately.

Thanks Denise! Yes it is my first (and Only) Pheasant in flight! I was invited to a Pheasant Hunt today and brought my Canon instead of my Remington:)
