...it was a good day in our front yard tree. (for birds not often seen by yours truly).
Female Kestrel. R5/500mm.
Nice shot !Sparrowhawk - ISO 6400, Canon R5 , 100-500mm. There was a time not long ago that ISO 6400 would have meant the photograph was destined for the bin. The improvement in ISO performance have been amazing

Thank you Alan. It is a Zenfolio based site. I will have to figure out how to make this an option. (EDIT- I just went into Zenfolio and it gives me the option of giving members of EU the option, but it doesn't say it will give non EU members the option. I just now amended the site by selecting this option,(the only one available). Not being in the EU I don't know if it is working and I don't know how to apply to everyone)Your website photowilderness.com immediately downloads cookies on clicking the link and doesn't give you the choice of rejecting or selecting the cookies.

I captured this Yellow-rumped Warbler* in my yard this past spring. Was the first time I ever recall seeing it.
*I'm not a "true" bird watcher, so do feel free to correct me on the naming.
The Meadow is much more boldly/distinctly streaked on the back. And why not a Tree Pipit - the lower mandible looks more pinkish than yellow (but that one is also more distinctly streaked on the back and the color may vary on the photos because of the light/white balance).
I love the idea! Unfortunately not my stile...Some art and its artist:

Juvenile Downy Woodpecker--5DMk3 + Canon 100-400II @ 400; ISO 1600
It depends Alan - in some areas people use to feed them and they (almost any species from the genus Alectoris) become not different from chicken! Anyway - beautiful bird but I wish it was from lower angle (what I wish doesn't matter).Surprise walking around my street in the gloom this afternoon - a Red-legged Partridge (R5/100-500 iso 6400). It wasn't scared at all and so I guess it might have escaped from a shoot.
