Kind of annoying when "notify" doesn't let me know for a few days. Great shots everyone!

Nothing special, but a new one for me - Clay-colored sparrow.

Nice picture, Jack.

ThanQ click.

The swallows were tending to this stump like it would become their new nesting box but recently I'm not finding them there. I liked this particular pose.

Cycling back from the lab this afternoon, looked up and saw this beautiful male kestrel perched on a lamp post. Lucky I had my 5DSR slung over my shoulder. Pity I had only the soft Sigma 150-600mm C attached.

Wheatear is Victorian euphemism for white arse. The wheatears all have white posteriors.

White Ibis ,Fort Desoto .

Lovely photo, Stuart. After all the many trips to Tampa/St. Pete, I never knew Fort Desoto existed. I will certainly go there next time I visit the area.

This thread seems to be going on for ever Lots of nice images!

This is a one day old Common Goldeneye. Their mother is very protective, so it is not easy to get close to them.

Very cool!

We have a batch of four Peregrines on the La Jolla cliffs that fledged about a week ago. Unfortunately the mother was killed by a rogue female just before they fledged, but dad has stepped up and been delivering 6-10 birds a day for them, usually doves. I've spent most of my afternoons there for the last week or so. Tuesday evening I was packing my gear up just as the sun was setting when one of the female juvies perched on a root less than 20' away.
