Thanks, Barracude (I really do like that one very very much).
fluffybunny, love the wings and tail open shot. Really shows off the coloring very nicely. Was out walking my dog over the weekend and there was a scissor tail sitting in a tree in one of the park areas we were walking by, he seemed perfectly content to let me walk really quite close, but alas I didn’t even have my phone on me.
And yes, this IS going to be an epic thread.
edit, U-Man, love the part-gray mallard head, you’re right, that’s awesomely sharp. //envy.
What a great group of photos posted so far, I really love U-Man’s Duckling and Kestrana’s Pygmy Falcon. Also it does seem that herons are pretty popular birds these days.
Unfortunately I just received an email from my web host that all of my domains might go down for about 1-2 hours for maintenance sometime in the next 48-72 hours. If my photos disappear please don’t delete them, they should be back up shortly. If not I can host them somewhere else. Why can’t they do this sort of thing over the weekend?
If the photos hiccup and disappear, they can be restored. I’ll try to keep a good eye out for that happening, but if you notice it before I do, feel free to message me on here or on Fark.
Thanks for the compliments, Barracuda and bender16v. There are lots and lots of good pics this week. I was explaining to Mopsy that I have bunches of bird photos ’cause I always have my camera with me when I’m fishing. I’ll take shots that come along. Or,I’ll go looking for them when the fishies aren’t biting. I look forward to what the ‘liters’ bring this week.
Stupendously awesome shots this week, gang.
Ravnostic…8:15, right on cue.
orionid: Just FYI: your peacock was apparently used in “Where the Wild Things Are”…if you have something else to submit, feel free.
Now it’s me not seeing the Vote buttons…
It’s a conspiracy, everything’s against me this week… =p
Weird, I opened Fark using Safari and the buttons appeared there.
Great collections of pics btw, and they keep on coming.
Stupendously awesome shots this week, gang.

Huh? None of my posts are at 8:15…. ??
Wow, there are some really cool birds I’ve never seen before. I wish more people would’ve said what kind they are, if they knew.
I’m No Big Deal: That hummingbird is so cute & fluffy! We don’t have that kind here that I know of.
Nice job, gang!
Some awesome stuff this week people!
Here’s some of my bees:
Resident peacock of Malahide Castle, Ireland. It was really mellow, so I was able to get right next to it.

This cactus wren was hamming it up for me, about 10 feet away just landed and said ‘oh hi, nomnomnom’

I spent the last month or so chasing the quail trying to get a picture of the chicks – they’re adorable, but they thought I wanted to eat them and kept running away 🙁

This one has been a lot of fun to shoot for, despite it being over 100 degrees!
hunches, my first thought for your unidentified was a juvi mockingbird, but the wing coloring is all wrong, however the shape is about spot on, so guessing something in the same family of birds, likely a juvenile.

Hopefully I posted this in the correct place. Let me know if I did not.
