Thanks folks, much appreciated. Krob78, I share your view on the Pileated Woodpecker. A great looking bird. Great shot.
This image of a Western Yellow Wagtail, singing his heart out to attract a mate, may look like it has been through a lot of colour processing. But it is actually straight raw to jpeg, slightly cropped and with only a minor sharpening.
1DX, 600 f4L IS II + 1.4xIII

Been on the road the last couple of weeks and have only had the phone to view the site but some really awesome shots to date. I got to watch a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers nest just outside my bedroom window growing up but I still haven't managed to get a cool shot like that one, Ken.
One of the two Trumpeter Swans I saw at Lee-Metcalf NWR in Montana. Giants, reminding me of watching B-52's land.

Great shot, Eldar!
The rather pale yellow tone makes me think this is a female (could possibly be a male that hasn't changed into summer dress yet). They're lovely birds, and at a few of my favourite bird spotting places one can come as near as 10-15m without them dashing off instantly.
Also noticed your Bluethroat: Congrats to that delicate little fellow!

aceflibble said:The standard 7D & 400mm f/5.6L combo is serving me well for this kind of thing. For the life of me I can't get the focus to work well for flying birds; probably for the best that I prefer closer, perched birds anyway. Can't get detail like this on something that's up in the sky
Nice pictures, aceflibble. I especially like the second one.

First time shooting small birds. Using Tamron 150 600 on 70d. Don't know the name of this common bird. But looked beautiful when I saw through this lens.
Using this combo still struggling a lot for BIF shots even with bigger birds like Pelicans. With my earlier 55 250 mm, I used to get more keepers.

Thanks DominoDude. The frist is a female and the singing one I posted a little later was a male. This bird appear in lots of nuances, so every now and then they are a bit difficult to separate.
Yesterday, when I was laying low, trying to shoot a horned grebe, this bunch of "ugly ducklings" came by for a visit. Charming bunch
1DX, 24-70 f2.8L II @70mm (luckily I had more than my 600mm + 1.4x extender available)
