I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to post their birds!! I wish I had the time to comment on every single image! I carefully studied every shot and somehow managed to narrow them down to the images below. It wasn't easy with so many great shots but I truly enjoyed it!!
Wonderful images everyone!! :clap
Honorable mentions in no particular order:
DsrtVW: I love the story this image shows. I can think of a million ways to caption it and
each one makes me laugh!! Wonderful lighting as well!
TonyCooper: While the focus and lighting seem a tad off, the facial expression makes up for
any small flaws in the photo IMO. Again I can think of a million great captions!!
puzzledpaul: I really love this shot. The lighting is outstanding!! I love the way it reflects off
the beads of water. Great low light difficult action shot!!
CAPTURED2H: You captured the shot I am always trying for and you did an outstanding job!!
Great timing, focus, light and color!! I really hope one day I am able to get a shot like this!!
fjcvisual: I love the movement and style in this image!! I consider this a work of art I would be
proud to hang on my wall. Wonderful!!

davev: The light! The Light! The Light! Did I mention THE LIGHT!?! If I didn't know better, I would swear you had a lighting kit set up on rafts just out of the frame!! This is what I consider the perfect time, place and person behind the camera!! This is the type of moment I hope to one day capture as well as you have!
Simply beautiful!! Simply perfect!! :bow :thumb :clap :bow

Jeromy, thanks for the nod, but unfortunately, I won't be unable to run the next mini.
We have a family member who's health is failing.
Although it doesn't take much time to run one of these, I'm afraid that my head and heart just wouldn't be in it.
So if it's ok, I'll pass this on to CAPTURED2H and the fine osprey with fish shot.
Thanks folks, for commenting and understanding.

Congratulations Dave, but saddened to hear your family circumstances, totally understandable you pass on the baton and I hope things improve for you and your family soon.
Alan.
And, Jeromy, I'd have voted very similar to what you did. Clearly a very difficult challenge to judge! Well done.
Eric
good gear; not enough time
Thank you for the kind words and the 2 picks I got. Being picked with Jeff & Dave is a big honor
Before I pick a theme I would like to hear from Dave first if that is good with everyone ?
As much I appreciate the offer to pick a theme, this mini is now yours.
You were good enough to take this over for me, you make all the calls.
Thanks you for helping out.
