Welcome to the board DLee!

haha, those are all great, I've got a few I can post up...these are all older and I know I've posted at least a few in other threads...

Best one so far! Hilarious!

That looks like me getting a eye exam trying to read the small letters on the chart.

 

[PixelRabbit]

Ha! I agree, keep them coming all! lol!

Just remembered about this one, male cardinals will crack seeds and bring them to the young lady they fancy. This is him giving her the seed and the smitten? look on his face as she accepts it lol!!

 

[baturn]

Cool set Ms. Rabbit!

Some really fun shots here! I'll play--goodness knows I've taken my share of oddly-posed bird shots!

My all-time favorite, the Chia Wren:

Another favorite, just wish it wasn't so noisy, but I'd pretty much lost all my light by the time this little Golden-Crowned Kinglet decided to gaze at me curiously:

These just made me burst out laughing at work. Loudly.
And so did Sharon's with the grass on the head.

Great shot. You just want to give it a hug.

Looks like this thread is winding down, so wanted to thank each and every one for all the great shots and comments. It has been much fun!

Cheers, Lee

WELCOME TO THE FORUM, DANNY! AND POST A FEW OF YOUR KINGFISHERS!

For the others on the forum, being a new guy myself, I mentioned this great forum to Danny. Danny is a Kiwi and a superlative bird photographer, particularly BIFs. The really interesting thing is he does it all with old Canon legacy lenses: manual focus and no IS.

Check out his stuff here:

Welcome to birds in action of the feathered kind

He has been very helpful to me in my efforts and is as nice a gentleman as you will ever meet. Lee
