Post your best bird shots!

Nice shots! What's that old saying about a bird in the hand?

Good work

After today I would change the saying to "a bird in hand equals poop on hand".

That bluebird is sharp. I would never guess that you had a teleconverter on the lens. Here's another Thrasher pic that I composed with the hand out of the frame.

@dsiegel - Your shots are really sharp! Very nicely done!

Well, it stopped raining for awhile today but still drab and gloomy but at least I got out in the backyard to take a few shots!

Thanks Denise...I really like the plump female House Finch. What's the effect you used on the Chipping Sparrow? I don't usually like effects, but for some reason I really like that one.

Thanks! There are actually two textures on that one. The raised effect texture is from Shadow House Creations.

This week is typically one of the best times of the year here in south central Kentucky for birding and bird photography ... here is a just a fraction of what I saw in about 2 hours Sunday morning :

Nice shots, Joel! It has been the same here this week! My yard is crazy busy with cardinals, wrens, finches, mourning doves, orioles, robins, chickadees, Brewer's blackbirds and now a hummingbird!

This was the week I was hoping I could return the favor and host you here for a few days ... maybe next year

Bob,
But you have posted the most amazing hummer shots this season, haven't you?
I'm sure they will all come to your backyard soon
