Hi Northstar.
Lovely shot, I guess it must have been pure luck then, or could it be you are a skilled or skilful photographer that is able to transfer those skills to a different genre of photography?
Lots of great pics by everyone else too, love the eagles Buddy.

Cheers Graham.

ANY hummingbird photo is hard to get. They are the golden grail of BIF

To quote Yoda..... beware the dark side for once you set down it's path, forever will it control your destiny..... soon you will be looking at 1DXs and 600F4s.... and you will think it's normal

Nothing too special about this shot, other than I shot it with something not usually used for birding... a 24-70...

I was in Wisconsin near Lake Michigan with my family and this guy came in close to see if we were serving up french fries or something.

Great, don't see enough pheasants...I wish we had them down here. The wings spread one is the best.

Hi Carl.
If you want pheasants just come to the Isle of Wight, trouble is they are mainly squished on the road, they have no concept of vehicles on roads at the best of times but it is the thinking with the small brain season so they are even less aware of their surroundings at the moment, one tried to get under my van wheels yesterday, not content with running in to the road it then started random acts of dithering left then right then stop then.... I missed him, but he tried really hard to get hit!

Really great pics from all, thanks.

Cheers Graham.
