The two most common native birds I have in my backyard are the Rainbow Lorikeet and the Red Wattle Bird, yet I haven&rsquo;t taken any pictures of them for years.<o></o>

    Denise, really nice job on the sparrow...the pose, head angle, background, exposure and sharpness are great. I might have cropped it a little looser with slightly more room on the left but I think it's a quality image...good work[]

    I am not sure if it is my new computer, but I had a lot of problems uploading images today. But, above, while kayaking my wife opened a bag of potato chips and we were almost instantly mobbed by geese. I took a few pictures as evidence (and no, we didn

    <span style="color: #ff0000;"]OK....this is the 2nd pic I've posted in the past couple of days and once again it disappeared. Also, I'm unable to see Joel's pic of the pelican this morning....I saw it last night. Can anybody else still see Joel's pic?



    <span style="color: #ff0000;"]Is it me or is the TDP (or should I call it HAL) system having an issue?


    <span style="color: #ff0000;"]I use the "insert image" icon on the toolbar to imbed my pix into my replies.


    <span style="color: #ff0000;"]I don't want this question(s) to divert from this thread's subject.....so if you answer my question, plz start a new thread.


    <span style="color: #ff0000;"]Thank you
