All are very nice, especially #3 and #4. What is #4?

 

[JacaRanda]

Agreed - they're all pretty super! I like #3 and 4 the best. I love that quizzical expression in #4.

Thank you L!

 

[JacaRanda]

I really like number 3. The colors are lovely.
4 is a close second.
I also like the flow in number 6. To me it's kind of a leading lines photo. The branch leads my eye to the bird and then right back out again.

Thank you Shefjr. #6 was the easiest one to crop; I just made the rectangle and stuck with it without any fuss. I am glad it fit your eye also.

These with the new Tamron?

I wish. That stupid lens was ordered in January. I hope some of the delay is Tamron working out any kinks.

 

[JacaRanda]

Thank you all for the comments. I really considered scratching #4 from the set, but I could not resist that head tilt.

After a quick recount it turns out #3 is the one I don't recognize. And is it the same bird in #1?

The Anna's Hummer is my fav!!

Yes Sir. They are both Western Kingbirds Western Kingbird, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
I have misidentified then for Say's Phoebes before Say's Phoebe, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Pretty bird shots!

I really love the background in #5. What was it?

Thank you Jenko. #5 is in a pine tree with plenty of dead and living needles. There is actually a nice birdhouse to the left of this shot.

I will post a reference shot later .

Great set, love the nice clean background on #2 :thumbup:

 

[TheNevadanStig]

Great shots! I love the background on #5. Looks like paint was smeared across metal or something. Really cool.

Here is the shot of the birdhouse, and one of mom & dad.

 

[JacaRanda]

Like all of them. I would crop the first one a little closer on the left to the bird, but that's just me, not a criticism of the shot. Nice colors throughout

Two slightly different takes.

Seriously jealous, I can't get anywhere near the bluebirds around here.
