dseigel, the female cardinal in particular is outstanding!
so many beautiful birds, time for ugly ones. Taken on the same day trip as the road pictures.
I cropped out the mangled opossum they were fighting over.

Taken in my front yard a few minutes ago. The asphalt driveway and grass make a natural gradient for the BG.

Joel - It is hard to get better than that.
Thought I would post one last bird photo in this thread. It's not one of my best but these were one my favorite birds to photograph. I never even saw one until I started photography and was thrilled to attract them to my backyard in the spring.

I'm just catching up after a couple of weeks off-line in Chile.
Nick, those shots of the gulls from a couple of weeks ago are amazing.
Joel, I always enjoy the quality and clarity of your bird images. I can't wait to get my hands on a lens like that.
Denise, I hope that's not the last bird photo you will be posting. I really hope next year turns out better for you.
Now for some pictures of birds from Chile. I think most of these species are new to the forum
