This thread is surprisingly quiet these days!

Here are a pair of Gambel's Quail strutting their stuff.

Nice strut.

I have nothing new to post but here is an eagle from Haida Gwaii in 2015.

Nice bird portraits - showing their "character" well, clbayley!

Your eagle may be aged but very nice anyway, Jack!

The eagle has landed. Nice shot, Jack.

Thanks guys, yes he's two years older and so am I, SADLY. I'm dying to go back to that Haida Gwaii. It's the most low key natural relaxing place in the world where you never see the police but never feel unsafe. The Haida are proud folk and rightly so.

A great place to observe Bald eagles.

That's a very shot, Jack. Well done.

Thanks click. I wish I could have snapped him when he was getting wet!

From this picture I imagine I can see the resentment of the bird for the rain - getting him wet and obscuring his prey

I couldn't resist posting this shot from this morning. Chaffinches are quite common here but I usually don't get close, and this guy is just so handsome.

Nice shot, Alan.

Handsome indeed.

I went out on my deck yesterday to make some shots of remaining colored leaves behind the house. I saw a bird sitting on the neighbor's bird feeder, near the artificial bird, so I photographed that:
