Great shot Zwek!

Too much time at work lately to really even check this site out or take any new shots but here is a common Western Scrub Jay about half a second after takeoff.

More white-tailed kite. Big crop from 200mm on 5D3. Of all the raptors, kites may appear the most menacing.

While on a cycle ride this evening with my 5DIII and 300mm f/2.8 II + 2xTC I saw what I thought was a pigeon on top our University Library, in the red circle, taken on the iPhone. Through the Canon, I recognised it as a peregrine falcon and took 230 shots, in the middle of which it stood up, did some exercises, and flew off. returned. The crops are really tiny at that distance, but Canon did well enough to get some nice enough photos. I don't think the Tammy 150-600 would have been sharp enough under these extreme conditions.

Now that´s a rare sight! Well done to spot it in the first place!

Osprey showing of good balance. Actually, the bird is building a nest and is coming in for a landing with a stack....

Common Terns in group saltwater bath. They dive and frolic in shallow water, in groups of 5 or six. Fun to watch.

Taken from a Kayak.

Cog, thanks for showing the love for the oft-scorned turkey vulture.
AlanF, good catch! I would hate to have been the pigeon targeted by that peregrine.

Pelican over the South Saskatchewan River. The black on its head is silt from the river, picked up when diving for fish. He appears to be staring right at me.
