I am in Florida right now and just happen to have my camera.

Very nice pictures, sedwards.

It's been a while for me. Male American Kestrel. These birds are damn hard to photograph because they are so alert. Got lucky with this one.

Canon 5Diii, 400 DO+1.4X Extender, rested on car window frame, aperture priority setting, f6.3 @ 1/5000

And, here's a second picture, shot moments later, same bird, same settings.

Great shot, wonderful bird. One has been seen around my area - no one has been able to get close.

The Eastern BlueBird is one of my favorites. We're fortunate enough to have them year round with a nesting pair currently in the yard. This is a full resolution crop from my 7D2 and 500mm f/4L IS II at a distance of ~13m.

Hi JMZawodny.
Lovely shot of a beautiful bird, let's hope it doesn't end up as prey for the perigrines that you say hunt in your garden!

Nice shots all.

Cheers, Graham.

I'm totally not a bird shooter but this little Egret caught my attention while out at a local park.

Thank you. Unfortunately, over the years I have found piles of feathers in the yard that could only have come from a bluebird. Apparently they are as tasty as they as beautiful.

A lot of activity of these small birds in spring ;D
Eurasian Nuthatch

He was sent to search for material to built a nest.
Along the way he forgot about it and start to play with it ;D


Or...maybe it is more useful when it is wet... ???

Recently moved and at night I am hearing likely a couple of barn owls. I seen the silhouette of it and would love to try to get a picture of one but seem night is the only option.

Any suggestions for an approach or settings? Would using a flash be an option? Currently have t2i so limited on iso. Thanks
