Some of the geese at a pond I often visit.
The gray guy is around ten years old. :)

A couple from my Sony that I like.


An artistic capture using a pink nylon stretched over the lens.


edit: Bummer...I lost a favorite. Maybe I shouldn't have posted them here. ;)

High in the mountains of Colorado. Waiting for the migratory "snow birds" to return. The short list below is my favorite of the species not seen every day.

Crossbill male. Unique bill configuration for extracting nuts from pine cones.
Broadtail hummingbird, male.
Rufous hummingbird, female.

(Thanks, lunachicken! That's the first time anyone has helped me on this website. Much appreciated.)


These are excellent! My hummers aren't back yet in Ohio...I'm starting to worry.

Here are three I shot this week, the pheasant was a couple weeks ago.

Marjo - your hummers should be in anytime.

Richard - I think your female Rufous is an immature male (red spot on throat and bright rufous color are the keys).

There are so many wonderful shots on this thread. Looking forward to seeing more. Van

Thanks!
Great wild turkey shot. I have never seen one in the wild and
they are on my list to attempt to capture.
I've heard they're very sensitive to any noise at all.
I think I may have waited too long, though. The tip I
got was for late March.

Beautiful color and detail on the pheasant. I've only seen them in the wild once. Caught a nice in flight shot...which you were nice enough to comment on. :) I'll still post it here though.

Photographed a hummer in TN last week while visiting. They haven't migrated up to MI in sufficient numbers to stop at my feeders yet.


Here is a nice link to a migration map.

I'm going to visit the osprey again in a few weeks. Okay, so I'm visiting my Dad and the osprey live right by his house, but.... :)

Flocks of these birds have been zooming around in the woods behind my yard for a while. I finally managed to grab my camera and get a shot for once before they all disappeared again!

I have more but these are the only ones I have posted ATM.

Here are a few pics of a couple of Roadrunners that were doing some sort of spring ritual in my front yard last week. I only had time to put on my old 75-300IS and sneak out to grab a few shots.

Male Roadrunner
Female Roadrunner
Action!

This is the best bird photo I have ever taken.
Then again, the bird wasn't all well..
It's a sparrow of some sort, that's all I know.
