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!"

    Oh, Harry, and I was so happy with my fishless Osprey! I am glad you have that stuff, but you are surpassing us!!!!

    And "my friends", they say I am good.

    Now, I noticed that most of these same birds are on the favorites in the bird "club" thing. I wanted to say that they look so cool in those thumbnails! The composition is so good they look like those stone things you can buy in shops.........................or you can pay a lot more and buy them at Wildlife Shows: and they are coool, too.

    Also, is that one hawk like a juvenile, a baby growing up, or just smaller than some?

    And I love the one with the insect of some kind.

    (gotta go, thunder!)

    Nice shots, Harry. I particularly like #4. Love the sharp, fierce expression, and the downey softness of his feathery body. Contradictions!!! I like the straight-on shot....makes me feel up close and personal with the bird. Plus I prefer nature backgrounds with greenery to plain blue skies....sorry guys, a girl can have her preferences!!! :D
