Post your best bird shots!

[Sheiky]

Thanks guys!

Of course, with Joel, Nate, Denise and others how can anyone feel anything but belittled? ;-)

Yup, you guys just rock! The level of birdphotography is simply said: awesome and I love to watch, but I dream to be able to post something like it myself

I like the first one best.I think ifyou crop quite a bit more it would give it more impact. The bokeh is simply amazing!

I agree, for some reason the bokeh stood out in this photo much more than it does on others. What crop do you have in mind?

awesome to get see and photo a rare
species.....he's a cute little fella!, I wonder what's wrong with his
left eye? Maybe an injury and/or infection.

I've only seen this type of owl once more in my life. While it supposedly isn't that rare, it is quite small so it's easy to mis. I thought we were dealing with a youngster, but when reading the wikipedia I think it was an adult. They don't grow large, about 8-9 inches full grown.


I'not sure what's wrong with the eye. He/she sure looked cross-eyed when we took the shots, but it's left eye also looks redder/more blood so an infection/injury sounds like a possibility as well.
