Lovely recent photos everyone! Wish I could contribute but I've been unwittingly drug into a botched tiling reno that has me leveling/straightening floors, so with a kitchen missing all its cabinets I don't dare to go out with the camera! 
Based on the winter Alberta has had/is having I think some of those tropical birds will be moving here!

Kingfisher is an amazing looking bird. Funny I have been caught in computer hell. Have a big backlog of shots that I have not been able to process. Will hopefully post some new stuff soon.

Thanks you Click, Eldar, Cog, Jack and Isaac.
I love sharing on this fora as my work sit side by side with equally excellent images.

Just a thought - my personal opinion. I'd like to see a few words of what was going on and how the various shots that are posted came to be ("the story").
Of course that means just a bit more typing but not really more than a minute of time, I'd guess. This fits with another person's request for equipment information and mirrors Dolina's inclusion of Wiki info on his exotic birds, which is appreciated since they tend to be pretty different from what I've grown up with in Alberta.
After all, if it's only bird photos, one can Google and choose "photos" and see 1000's of great shots. Am I alone on this? It would require group commitment. Myself included.
