Nice exposure on no. 1; all-white birds are hard to get right without burning out highlights.

I agree, not an easy exposure. That always dives me nuts! I like # 2 the best but all three are winners.

I like the reflection in the snowy image and I agree with the others, good job on the exposure. A hummer in winter? I wish I had them. That one looks gorgeous.

Thanks Stephen. I added a hummer shot which I think is even better. Appreciate your comments as always.

Very nice little hummer!!! The egret is really good; I like the overall feeling of the colors.

Thanks Glenn. Not sure why the Killdeer seems to be the best out of this bunch?
