I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!

I like the combination of colors in this shot, Sandi. A purdy birdie, and a purdy foofy, too. Excellent shot.

I like it very much. A bird I seldom see, at least not close enough to ID it. Especially enjoy the perch and pose. Makes a unique and beautiful photo.

Super shot Sandi - and the clarity on the bird is excellent and so are the colours here.

This guy looks like he thinks he's a bald eagle. He must the king of his domain from the holier than thou look on his face. If I tried to do this as a hand held shot with my telephoto lens, it would look like that "coyote" shot that Wendell posted of his neighbor's dog. Say motion blur.
