Show your Bird Portraits

I was driving around with my wife and I spotted these Geese near Staples right next to a small river...

First attempt at wildlife with my 70D and Tamron 70-200

That is very good for a first attempt, much better than when I started last December.

Below is from this afternoon:


And from yesterday morning:

(6D + Tammy)

Hi Guys,

My first post here. A picture I took a few years ago, when I just bought my 400mm f/5.6. A bit too noisy, but I was going for BIF pictures and had my 40D at iso 800 . Taken at f7.1 and 1/3200sec.

I see Grey Herons once in a while but have not captured any half as well as you have -- very nice job!

Bluejay digging through the fresh fallen snow to get at the food. Shot with a SX50 at 1200mm equivalent in the (GASP!) "green box" mode...

Thanks Hank,

I got lucky. The heron came flying straight at me but decided to take a different direction. It was just like he was going to stop in mid air. Took a very sharp turn to the left and disappeared.

Grtz,

Not the best photo I've ever taken, by a long shot, but how many of you have ever seen an Elegant Trogon? These birds are extremely rare in the U.S., living in only a few isolated canyons in southeastern Arizona. I got this male this morning alongside a stream right on the Mexican border.

Nice looking bird and shot

It took me quite some time to shoot these 2 fast little silver eared nightingales.

Wow, once again I'm envious over the last few posts!

I've never even heard of this bird, let alone see it ... very nice.

What a beautiful and interesting looking bird! Nice shot!

wildlifeandmore, from what I've figured out you live in a very great wildlife location. Love your shots. I'm hoping the 1D2 solves the questions that I have in due course so I'm more confident in my next purchase. I can't really afford a 1Dx and won't if I can't get used to the weight (maybe a used 1D4).

Lots more great shots from new and old-timers alike. New posters every day, that's great!

Jack

Thanks Jack!

Fantastic shots, everyone. Great to have new posters. I haven't contributed for awhile so I'll add a few.
