A couple of a shorteared owl that decided to rest on a post just in reach of 800mm on a 5DIV. The bird is only 600x500 px from the very centre of the frame.

A technically better thawed hummingbird. The ruby cap has to be in a certain direction in regard to light, so still room for improvement. This one at iso 800 1/6400 w EF600ii.

Enjoying all the photos here, wouldn't mind more of the night herons...

Nice picture, applecider.

A young looking egret having maybe a bad hair day...and a blue heron doing what they do.

Very nice photos, kodakrome.

Thanks for the comment, serendipity!

Managed to catch up with our resident Peregrines today. This one getting really peed off with a tiresome noisy jackdaw to my benefit

That's a very nice looking bird, Alan. Well done.

I was in SF, CA in Oct 2013 and was able to get a couple of hummingbird shots at the botanical garden.

Nice shots serendipidy! I'd like to get some humming birds but will have to travel far.

Thanks Alan. They are beautiful birds. I visited one zoo in the 1970's that had a hummingbird house where you could walk among a variety of different kinds.

Let me guess, it's probably shut down now due to bird cruelty issues.

Here's a series of Snowy Egret photos featuring side-lighting, which remains my favorite way to light the subject. Hand-held, no cropping.
