    Wow! What a set Stephen! clap.gifclap.gif The first dickcissels shot, the second lazuli bunting, the egret, the red-tailed hawk, the yellow-rumped warbler, and the first chickadee bowdown.gif All great shots, but these in particular really grabbed my attention. Some beautiful backgrounds in amongst those! Well done.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Nice job, Stephen. My favorites are the Dickcissels and the warblers.

    Too bad the bunting didn't let you get close.
    Last year I also had a hard time getting close to one.
    This year some of our local buntings are unusually fearless of people.
    Sometimes they just sing and forage next to the trail!

    Thank you Luis. I just feel fortunate to have seen the lazuli since it is not really a species that frequents my area of N. Texas. I would love to get some images like yours though!
