A rare use for me of the 400mm DO II +2xTC on the 5DSR. A Hawfinch munching a hornbeam seed.

Nice shot.

What does mean mean if it doesn’t mean mean? Or did you mean mean means not mean?

I guess we'll have to go to the Oxford to clarify the MEANing or maybe ask click.

Baltimore oriole

I had to shoot it through a plate glass window, so the quality could be better. Fortunately the window had been washed recently.

Female Baltimore oriole in our crabapple tree eating the petals. I haven't seen an oriole here for years. This pair has been hanging around quite regularly this spring. Once again I shot the pictures through thick window glass, so the sharpness and general quality aren't quite there. I'll try to get be
better pictures but it might take a while.

After checking the "nest" (they don't build any!) of a White Tern every day - finally it happen: last Thursday the chick came out! It's from the UH campus.
The Japanese White Eye is from botanical garden - it was utilizing the sprinklers there in the hot/dry weather!

Same here! Time to time I have noticed it before but now it's like "the new normal"!

They've been loading at a glacial rate, although I've noticed a substantial improvement the past couple of weeks.

Not due to global warming, I hope.

I needed a splash of colour this morning. I am jealous of those of you living in Florida.
