Mike, in honesty I prefer your bird - send her/him up here in spring. Lovely shot, lovely pastel colours.

Nicely done, Mike.

I am in Eastern Ontario, and the goldfinches are not that colourful this time of year, at least not without the help of lightroom

Today seems to have been woodpecker day! Lots of pileated, hairy, and Downy woodpeckers around!

Shot with a 6D2 and a Tamron 150-600 lens.

The European goldfinch holds it own against its American cousin! (5DIV 800mm)

The Anhinga is a new bird for me, which I really like. They dry their wings like cormorants do. Top is a female I shot two days ago (5DSR + 100-400mm II @ 560mm) and below a male this afternoon (5DSR + 100-400mm II @ 400mm).

Anhingas swim with just their necks above water. They dive to catch fish by spearing them, and I was lucky to see it (5DSR 100-400mm II @ 560mm).

I've finally gotten around to editing photos I took in the spring. I think I took close to 50,000 last April/May. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin I'm able to get a decent amount of shorebird action in the spring and fall! Here are some American Avocets that stopped by for a few hours in early May. 7D mkii / EF600 F4 IS II / 1.4xiii

Lovely shots. Well done, Jeremy.

+1 A very unique bill and sweet coloration. We get them up here and they are fun to watch.

Help with identification please. I took this little beauty in the Everglades yesterday (5DSR/100-400 II/560mm) and it's a new one for me.
Edit: it's a male Northern Parula.

 

[AlanF]

And this tiny plain one? Edit: it's a female Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
