Show your Bird Portraits

I know that herons are a pretty common subject, so forgive me if they are considered trite, but it was a good day, so I thought I'd share a few.

In my opinion, no bird is considered trite. A good picture is a good picture. Like others have said, because it may be easy to capture for you, doesn't mean they are for everyone else around the world. Great pictures. Keep on posting.

Very nice series, Sharpening Iron. I especially like the last picture.

Yes, Sharpening Iron, very nice pictures. I especially like the first and third. They both add different dimensions of character to the GBH.

In this beautiful fall season, birds are starting to leave us for the winter.

I have found this one, while kayaking this morning.

Nice photo, Click!

The more the merrier!

dpc thanks for that. I have yet to have one decent hawk photo if you can believe it.

i do love the sigma 150-600S lens, very sharp wide open and surprisingly good OOF rendering for a lens such as this

Nice ones. Here's something more than pink!

Hi dpc.
Nice shot, it is just a shame that signs are more useful to us at the side of the road rather than in the fields where a bird may look towards the road rather than in to the field to see its prey!

Cheers, Graham.

Not sure what hawk this is. Possibly a dark morph ferruginous? If anyone knows, please inform me.

Hi Alan.
Very nice shots from you and Mrs Alan, it looks like it was a fantastic experience.

Cheers, Graham.

Hornbills in the wild. The male black hornbill is from the 400mm DO II +2xTC at 800mm on the 5dIV, the Rhinoceros Hornbill from my wife's 100-400mm II on the 5DSR at 40m - it had to be pushed by +3ev as it was very underexposed. The 5DSR is damn good.

Hi Click.
A really nice shot of a Canada? goose, great composition, colours, everything, even the bird looks neat and tidy.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Sharpening Iron.
Nice shots, some different behaviour shown in yours.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi dpc.
Nice shots, I like the way the back of one looks like it could be pinstripe detail on the hood of a custom car.

Cheers, Graham.
