I'm way out of my league, posting a shot in this extremely high-calibre thread, but I got a cute shot of a Clark's Nutcracker today, chomping on some snow. (Yes of course we still have snow... it's only May )

Canon 1DX, 500 mm f/4 II, 1/800 sec @ f/7.1, ISO 200

Very cute action shot and nice exposure. Here's a cute one (I thought) from this winter of a chickadee eating insect cocoons off an oak leaf.

Great shots Jonathan and Vern.....cute little guys. I have never seen the Clark's Nutcracker, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful. One of my favorite birds. They pass through SE WI quickly and are sometimes hard to capture.

Great shot of the IB, Joel. So hard to catch a glimpse of one let alone manage a great capture like that.

M_Six, Drive down to Little Grand Canyon in SW Illinois. It is almost impossible not to see an Indigo this time of the year while driving on the backroad to the hiking trail parking lot.

snakes are plentiful too. Watch your step. They get a bit grumpy.
