Thanks guys. These juncos sure seem to have an extremely wide range of coloration within their flock.

Very nice picture clbayley! What kind of woodpecker is it; seems very small - or your cattails are much larger than the ones we have

So many coloured rings on its legs. As a scientist, I suppose I should support the research. As a bird photographer ugh!
Fully agree... I don't know why they need so many (maybe to identify from a distance; colour code on both legs?)
It's mate didn't have this many rings, but he/she was even farther out and even less willing to pose

@ Wiebe V nice shots. One thing I am learning regarding birds is just how much variation in color there can be based on region, mutation, and age and of course sex may or may not be a factor. It's frustrating to have to admit that visually we just can't tell. The Warbler book has the voice characteristics but how many of us carry around parabolic microphones?

Hi clbayley.
Very nice shot, I really like the bold contrast between the black and white of the woodpecker, and the warm brown / gold of the surroundings.
Cheers, Graham.

Hi Wiebe.
Another nice series of shots, no idea on the ID of the bird though.

Hi Wiebe.
Nice shot, nice to see one from their level, unfortunately where I see them is on a sloping beach and even putting the camera on almost on the ground you I am still shooting somewhat down on them. I have taken lots of shots of these little fellows and watched them for ages more, they work very hard Turning Stones looking for their living, they must turn tonnes!
The lapwing is a good shot too.
Cheers, Graham.

Wiebe, V nice.
Still wondering why it is that enlarged photos open two ways. One with a slider and inability to see the whole photo and the other in an alternate window. Wiebe's shots with slider, my Junco in a new frame. Can't be just my computer. Seems there is a threshold relating to the size of posted photo?? What is it?? I have trouble believing anyone interested in a sharper/larger view wants 1/2 a bird with little background.
