    This is a juvenile, newly fledged Pileated Woodpecker.....the adults bring the youngsters to the back yard feeders

    A couple of gulls and then a chickadee in flight.

    Great shots Joel, nice that you give the youngsters a chance :-)
    David, I like the fluffy background for the chickadee.

    I am working my way through shots from the past months (deleting by the hundreds as I go), every now and then I find one that I like.
    I took this one on my way back home from work, just stopped for 20 minutes at a little creek:

    Joel, stunning. That's all to say. Glad to see the little guys are getting some time at your feeders.

    Dave, nice grabs on the gulls. We had some stop over here for a while during migration, but I didn't get much to photograph. The flying chickadee is cool. I like how the wings are blurred. I think it gives a better feel than if they would have been frozen.

    Arnt, nice quacker!

    Here is my feeder...without the awesome setup. I have a couple goldfinches and some house finches stopping by. I suppose I should try to make it look more natural.





    and a robin to catch the ones that fall to the ground.

    Great shots everyone. I spent the day at a bird reserve and caught my first sighting of an osprey. This was one of three that were patrolling the sky.

    The mute swans are raising their cygnets. They are still too young to fly, but that doesn't stop them trying.

    I also saw this grey heron performing a delicate balancing act.

    Cool flight shot on the Chickadee....a tough one to get.

    Thanks. Nice detail in the House finch, I think the reds on that species are tough to do well and you nailed it.
