Hi ERHP.
Very nice shot, such a difference in eye colour, do they grow in to that? Also, that beak looks much less dangerous but still pretty big for the little one!
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Graham,
Many birds when young have different colored eyes than adults. They can go from dark to lighter, while some can go from lighter to darker. Accipiters go from yellows to oranges and reds as adults.

@Vadek, AlanF, ERHP, PCM-madison,
Excellent shots of these birds!
I especially like the Grebes, the Western Grebe parent certainly seems to have very bright red eyes, more so than I remember from any of our European kind. Maybe due to the light (-direction)?

@Valvebounce, @Nat_WA, @Jack Douglas Many thanks for your feed back!
Great gray owl. What is interesting(and surprising for me) about the photo is pretty good camera performance at high ISO. 80D 100-400 mkII @400mm, 1/1600, f/5.6, ISO6400

Western Willet. This bird towered over the Eastern Willets in our area.
Pict taken from a Kayak. For those of that use a water approach to get close will understand what follows. While taking the pict the wind, waves, an currents were moving me around unpredictably. I mention this as I had no idea how these images would come out.
I took the picts with a 6D ( not famous for its focusing prowess.) and a Sig 150-600mm C. The Sig does not stabilize the viewfinder so the birds image was bouncing around. Took a series of shots and was pleasantly surprised when they all came out.
Not complaining - had fun - sometimes you just get lucky.
