Post your best bird shots!

whoa....the eye is tack perfect Joel and the rest of the bird ain't too shabby either. BJs make for good photo ops....lovely bird, so-so personality. Although I have to admit....when they start to do their warning call....I start looking for a Cooper's and/or Red-tail hawks.

Just out of curiosity Joel...how many perches do you have in your set up? My songbird studio consists of 8.

I guess we're even....your backyard Pileateds are killing me. I have to drive for nearly an hour for some pix of them, fortunately the ABEs only take about 15 minute drive.

Usually I only set up 2 or 3....with too many I cannot predict where the birds will perch and I find it difficult to move the camera quick enough to get a picture without spooking the bird.
