That's a very nice photo and nice post-processing too

Great Grey Owl came to visit during a snow at our place this winter. I watched him successfully catch a field mouse under the snow after this pic - it was awesome to see.

I really like Carolina Wrens. Their songs are very nice.
Thanks for posting, very nice photo.

Thanks Click. This site is awesome - so much more than speculations etc on what Canon is currently up to and planning to do. I'm still exploring the site and learning from so many members.

Two shots here. The Towhee was taken with my 60D, while the Sapsucker with my 5D Mk III, in a dark area of the park hence ISO 5000.

More great shots - thanks to everyone. Boy that sapsucker sure is different than our yellow-bellied that I'll post below, taken last year.

Purple Gallinule, Everglades. 6D, Tamron 150-600.

Now, click, you must realize it might be construed as sexist going for the male with all his bright red!

Initially I didn't know what the first shot was but a "birder" clued me in instantly. Birder's are pretty serious dedicated folk!!

Thanks Jane, Click, candyman and lion rock.

Jack, really like the 3rd shot in that set. The lines of 'holes' in the tree add a lot to the image.

Thanks ERHP. In the long distant past those holes were a source of great irritation for me as I lost a fair number of MA trees! But I have lots of them so I finally put that out of my mind and acquiesced.

Finally caught one of my least favorite friends off guard and up close from my "observatory". Would prefer different lighting but it's January.

Finally a treecreeper that posed well! 1000mm f/10.

These are tricky. Mostly I find them in line with me and the tree trunks, leaving only the backside to focus on, and that is nearly impossible. You were smart and got a bit of the breast/belly to help out.
