It looks like the Florida Ospreys have more color than the ones in the Pacific Northwest. Very nice photos!

Great job AlanF. Beautiful bird! WE have some swallows here in Nevada but I can never catch them perching.

I love those rose coloured flamingos as well. I'm happy to live close to a zoo where they have a flock of them. This allows me to take portrait pictures of them. I have also been to the Camargue (a well known place in southern France) that is situated at the delta of the Rhone river west of Marseille. This place is a regional nature reserve and home to thousands of flamingos. Especially in the morning and evening the fly by as they move from their feeding grounds to their sleeping grounds. 
The first 5 pictures are taken in the zoo in Basel / Switzerland with the old 7D and the Tamron 150-600, which is working fine with that camera. The 2 last ones are shot in the Camargue (7D with 70-300 L - no 150-600 available at that time). I will post some BIF photos in the BIF forum page.
The Tamron 150-600 is not really working well on my new 7D MkII. In combination with the 5D III it's perfect except in humid weather conditions. The Tamron doesn't like not even one tiny littly rain drop at all.

Very nice shots and commentary of a beautiful/not so beautiful bird. The baby is adorable. The variation in birds is mind boggling.

An acorn woodpecker. Comical looking birds who store nuts in holes in trees for the winter. One of them, after this picture, rearranged his storage options.
Images selected to show a bit of the storage tree a multi-holed almost cactus looking skeleton.
First at iso 1000 f6.3 320 of sec. Most shot with a 500/4 ii with 1.4ex. This was in mostly overcast conditions.
