Joel, your shots are stunning!! I am almost afraid to post here but here goes ...

The only bird shots I really take these days are of the FRTHB's in my backyard. Yesterday, my daughter & I were sitting in the backyard under the gazebo when the little bird actually came and almost sat on one of the empty chairs next to me!! She flew about an inch from the chair cushion for a few minutes and just stared at us!! Of course, one of the few times I was out there without a camera!! Heck, a macro lens would have been the only thing that would have worked she was so close!!

Here are a few from today ...
