Lots of beautiful images all over this thread. Lafuria, WOW! Here’s my participation.

Nice set of pictures JuanMa, capturing these agile barn swallows in flight is quite an achievement!

Great pictures all around in this thread! Awesome birds lafuria and JuanMa! Also, those heron pictures are top nothc, kodakrome.

I wanted to get some pictures of larger birds and went through the local area to see what I might find. From the nearby forest I've got an acrobatic Great spotted woodpecker that just hopped around the leaves on some low hanging branches instead of pecking wood. From a borrow pit lake, I got what should be a Moorhen and some kind of white duck - Seeing it from a distance I thought it was an albino first. And then I alo finally managed to get a good picture of one of the Eurasian jays that visit the garden daily.

Edit: And they got huge again. Sorry, didn't mean to take up that much space

Nice series Joules, I especially like the woodpecker in its somewhat unusual position

The Robin that nested on the back porch has 3 babies. She had 4 eggs hoping for another but space is getting tight and she had to move to the adjacent pot.

Soo cute!

A bit scruffy indeed... Is it a raven btw.? It looks a bit different and smaller than I remember...

Pretty sure it’s a raven.

Must be that I'm only used to see them in the alpine regions of Europe - those seem to have a larger beak; and easier to assess their size against the natural background
And hey..., I'm no expert, just trying to learn :-[ ;D

Here are some more from the spring warbler migration through SE Wisconsin, including the elusive Connecticut Warbler and Yellow-breasted Chat. These were taken with 7D mkii, EF500 f4, and 1.4xiii.

Great Pictures Jeremy, I won't see most of those but it is nice to see someone else is getting great shots of such beautiful Warblers.
