Another tricky week to judge…the quantity may not be too high but the quality is. As I see it either of these shots could be the winner, but in the end I fell for the Party Crasher. At a first glance I thought it was a composite, but after a closer look it seems like there were actually four birds in the frame. This is one of the images that trigger my fantasy and makes me think about various captions and/or dialogues that could fit with it. Congrats on the great shot Brant!

Thanks Claes and Stephen. Great images everyone!

Yep, 4 birds in frame. Three cardinals sitting on the perch, and then the Thrasher came in like a wreaking ball.
