best to all.

Nice captures - got to say my favourites are numbers three and five - probably to do with the bokeh.

Oh Ray, what a great bunch of photos from Algonquin! As always, your bird pictures are super crisp and well composed. How thrilling to see the moose! And that first scenery shot is absolutely gorgeous. 2, 3, 5 and 7 of this series are my faves (yeah, I really narrowed it down eh?)

wow, some nice images here!

And, well, I know there are probably many spots simlar in Algonquin, but I really think I remember 7 and 8 ... I mean the way the rocks are arranged in 7 and the vegetation pattern and water in 8 ....

What another wonderful series!
My favorite is #2, the way its framed (and posing) makes it very striking to me.

thanks so much everyone! It was a fun trip, but a lot of work., I was exhausted when I got home, and then.. back to work!

No, we went south this time, to Turkey Point Provincial Park, spent most of the weekend working on some woodpeckers... Hope to get my editing done tomorrow night.

We might head up to Algonquin this weekend though.

Every time I see your photos...I swear out loud and shake my head. Your birds are fan-freaking-tastic.

You should come out west and spend some time in Elk Island National Park...I'd even help carry your gear

Another spot you might like is the Grey Lodge Wildlife Area, in Northern California. My Grandfather was in charge there for a few decades and is largely responsible for it's success. He even put together a book about it.

OMG those birds are gorgeous! Beautiful and awesome is all I can say! :hail:

Thanks Daan, Mike, and Anita, your comments are too cool... Mike, I wish I could afford to head west to these places, but we are drained, and limited to maybe a cheap Florida trip this winter., Some day I will retire, and do nothing but travel and shoot.
