Amazing set of images Joel!

Thanks! Moved my set up a bit closer for a bit more extreme close ups.

Forgot to include the Hairy Woodpecker portrait in my collection. Still trying for a Red Headed Woodpecker.

These shots are not the beauties that usually appear here, but the subjects were fun. These were at an ornithologic park in the Camargue (Rhone delta) a short trip from Arles. I wouldn't usually think of going to France to see the flamingos, but c'est la vie!

This past weekend was intentionally quiet. As part of that, I photographed birds at my feeder. A couple of shots I liked:

Haven't been through this for a while and forgot how awesome the bird photography was in here. Excellent work everyone!

I tend to prefer natural perches, but I haven't removed a stand I used for HB feeders and the birds apparently like it:

Love the flip and catch on that last one Brant!

We have an Eagle pair that just built a nest in the trees right beside our neighborhood. They are about 4 to 5 years, so looking forward to babies next year. This is a super cropped photo of one of them. She stays in the nest quite a bit while he hangs out on this fallen tree.
