Show your Bird Portraits

Another visit from the Cooper's hawk. This was on Friday; on Saturday he swooped through my feeder area, scattering the cardinals and juncos but coming up empty.
70D + 400/5.6 wide open, 1/400, ISO 1600. Honestly, I'm not thrilled with the 70D's performance at ISO 800, much less 1600. Went heavy on NR and then added some sharpening to try to counter the resulting softness.

Hello,
New member here. Bird portraits are my primary interest in photography and here's a few of my favorites. I favor the slightly darker side of the exposure spectrum and I especially enjoy the effect side-lighting has on my subjects so early morning or late afternoon sunlight works best.
All wild birds, hand-held, no cropping.

Nicely done with Ice queens, as well as Ice moons, Sedwards and Orangutan!
And welcome to the forums, Tony B! Nice start, even though you tossed in a Nikon photo in the mix.
Good photos are good photos - no matter the brand of gear. You are certainly picking great light to shoot in.
