Nope, definitely not sick of 'em! Another fine fine series of shots, Raymond. 2, 3, 10 and 12 are my faves. Really love these.

Dang man...these belong in a book buddy.
I chased that second bird around this morning. Had no chance of getting a shot. It sings nice tho

 

[LaFoto]

No. Not sick of them.
Just "green with envy" :meh: .

(Ah no. Not really. All I wish for is to at least SEE our birds when I hear that I am right underneath them!)

Well to be honest with you Ray and I know this may hurt...... no

 

[duncanp]

nope, not from you at least... some more perfect pics!

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

Thanks everyone... I did not know that #2 is a Catbird.. I have never seen one before this, and I am surprised that such a pretty bird would have such a horrible name!

 

[Digital Matt]

I love 4 and 11

4,5,10 and 12 are so gorgeous! too bad i didint get one shot while we were there! baby was getting cranky!

 

[Raymond J Barlow]

Thanks you 2...

Matt.. I thought 11 was amost junk.. it is a fairly heavy crop, and the blow out on the breast could not be saved. ( I think it was about a 75% crop!)

SICK Of them? Why would you ask? hehe NO way! I love yoru photography Raymond and it really inspires me.. Love #7

 

[SQUACKS]

great shots...again! looks like you have all the right equipment for bird pics.

i would guess that the catbird gets its name from the sounds it makes. if you listen you will hear them making a pretty constant mewing type sound that sounds pretty cat like. just a guess on my part.

they are very common in parts of illinois and prefer pretty thick cover it seems.

luck!

thanks everyone.. Yes Squacks, very true.. I hear them in many places, but rarely do I get a clear shot of one.
