Variety of Birds

[PixelRabbit]

Here are today's bird shots that I just finished processing, I ended up taking a lot of shots today, everyone seemed to be landing in the right places so it was a good day BUT I have come to the realization I have to redouble efforts to find OTHER birds, these guys are going to be around all summer long and I can't shoot them every day as tempting as that may be lol.

Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks for taking a look!

Mourning Dove all fluffed up.







Female Cardinal getting out of the sun.





The gnarly Common Grackle.






The wee sweet Goldfinch.






Last but not least, Red Winged Blackbird takeoff.

Good ones. Really like the Grackle with the dark background. I bet your 100-400 is getting used.

That Grackle's got some attitude....looks like he's telling someone off. Nice shots

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks all

Desi, I love the grackles, their colours and expressions are very cool!

Great set! I really like the goldfinch. I rarely see goldfinch, though they are plentiful here, and when I do see one I either don't have the camera, or its too far away to be captured with my 50mm lens [only one I have now].

Nice set, I like what you've done.

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks Carol and Ryan

It's cool that different people like different shots

 

[Aloicious]

nice! I like the grackle, we don't get them around here so its neet to see

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks Aloicious! They are very very common around here and way cool. Most consider them a pest along with the starlings but these guys are soooo dramatic and I love their plumage!
