Hi Ian.
Fantastic series of shots, lovely subjects.

Cheers, Graham.

Nothing new so here is an unposted one from Haida Gwaii, 2015. Very typical of what was there. Interesting coloration variation, based on age.

We've stumbled on something here!! Bird swapping. I like the idea of the wings being outside of the envelope since that would be free airmail. We know passenger pigeons have accomplished similar feats so I think it can work. I would like to order a stork in a big envelope. I'll pay for the envelope.

Alternately maybe some magnetic device that tricks your southern bird into reverse migration. I'll feed them so no worries there.

Sure, here is the menu:

Sure, here is the menu:

Looks like a menu at an Indian restaurant.

[*]Chicken curry
[*]Chicken masala
[*]Chicken Kolhapuri
[*]Chicken tanduri
[*]Chicken khima
[*]Chicken do pyaza
[/list]

Etc...

I'll take them all.

Good to get some good humour (or humor, if you must), it helps relieve some of the drudgery of life.

I have never seen such a fat moorhen. I must invite him over for Christmas, but he looks a bit of a bruiser. 5DIV + 400 DO II.

Very nice shot, Alan.

I understand. Humour is what keeps me going - I have had to live with myself all of my life.

Ringe-necked Pheasant

The Fish and Game folks release these birds in my area as "Recreational Opportunities " for local hunters.
I got to him before they did.

Lovely! Very good eating, but not to worry I gave that up decades ago.

Hi,

Lovely shots, I love the Kinglet, and I believe the Gull is a California Gull, I based this on your location (Seattle) and I hope this helps a little
