Hi Ryan.
A very nice series of shots, I like the first one, but the owl is beautiful.

Hi Eric.
Nice shots, great timing on the first one, you captured the hole in the water (caused by a drip off the heron's beak?) perfectly with perfect timing.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Graham. Yes, I think it was a drop of water off the beak. I didn't plan the shot that way, it was just serendipitous ;D
Cheers,
Eric

I like this one!

Thanks, Cog. Another heron had entered his space and he was displaying a puffed up threat posture just before he chased the other heron away.

Hi Mike.
Very nice shot, the lack of background gives the bird real presence.

Cheers, Graham.

A recent snow and cold streak with 6 days of sub freezing weather in Portland Oregon has really brought the neighborhoods birds to feeders. The Oregon juncos are the most common of the visitors.

Towhees are also frequent visitors, tho they prefer to stay on the ground most of the time, and are allergic to staying still.

The star of the local show is the Townsend warbler, masked and ready. This is a friendly bird who will often perch within arms length while the feeders are serviced.
