Got some excellent views of two summer warblers in the last few days - sedge and reed (Acrocephalus sp.). Here are some favourites 700-1000mm

Beautiful shots, scyrene. I especially like the 1st, 4th and 6th.

First--Chestnut Backed Chickadee Vancouver Island
Added a bit of grain and toned down the colors a bit

Second-- Not sure of this guys identity but the even bigger mystery to me is how the leaves got so mucked up

I must admit... that is the most beautiful Grackle I have ever seen and would never have thought they could be so pretty. Here in Nevada we have Great-tailed Grackles and the one's I've seen all look hung over, like they've been fighting all night, and lost their last dime in the slot machines. They are that bad looking. I will not even take a photo of them. Obviously the desert is hard on them. Don't know why they hang around.

However, your photo of the Common Grackle is quite stunning. Thanks for posting!

An........"Ahhhhh, bless" moment. Goslings at Lake Meadows, Billericay, Essex. Shame they grow into cantankerous argumentative beasts.

Common blackbird (female)
I had to go up to 2500 iso. It was cloudy and rainy day.
She stands firm keeping herself warm
