I really like that shot. Plus bluebirds are not very common around here and always a thrill to see. I tried building bluebird houses on my place once to attract them - utter failure.

Greg, absolutely no problem. And I am glad that you cannot delete some of the images because I think that they are ALL fabulous. The only reason I modified the exhibit numbers was because I hope to get rather a lot of entries so it would give me a bit less to manage. On the other hand I could just be overly optimistic about the entries!Oh, goodness..... Humble apologies!! I must confess that I didn't read the into except for the part dealing with the subject matter, foolishly thinking that it was the same blurb we use again and again. If you know a way to do this, I'll be happy to go back and edit my post to delete the too many exhibits, but, as far as I know, I can't do that now. Sorry - there was no intention of violating the rules.Because I was trying to limit the number of exhibits to TWO per person.
That went well.
Ha Ha.
However, what a fabulous group of photographs. Specifically regarding the entries, the dogs look great..it is those wonderful eyes in each photograph. I had thought of doing "eyes" as a challenge, they would have made great entries. And the bat, I saw literally tree loads of what they call Flying Foxes when on my trips to Australia. I remember two things...the noise and the smell.
And the exhibits, yes all of them, are fantastic. You know what I think of that eagle, its eyes make me shiver, and the crested pigeon is extraordinary...I genuinely have never seen one before. And as for the wolf...WOW. And the one captioned "a prisoner"......the look, goodness me.
Great job Greg, thank you.
Regards,
David

Those "flying foxes" give me the shivers. The on I photographed had its wings out with strong backlighting for just a second, so you could see of the structure, veins, etc. Ugh.

feathers.....
Very nice, thank you Mike. I really like rainbow lorikeets, which I think that is. On my Australian travels, particularly in Queensland, there were flocks of them in the gardens. They really are very pretty birds with all those fabulous colours.

That would be one of my favorite shots ever. A street kitten.
I know I've posted it before. But it suits so well the topic.

Actually she followed me out embarrassed also..She didn't mean for it to come out!The bat photo instantly brought up a funny memory.
My late wife had a fascination with Dicks. If we saw a horse in a field with a "Woody" she would make me pull over to look. And when my son was a baby I was in the bathroom and she was yelling for me to hurry up and come in the bedroom where she points at my son while changing diaper and is saying.."Look, he has a "Woody". I said Big deal!
Now to the story after that background. rassed, but we were at a zoo in this bat house and there were people with their kids in there. There were all these big bats like the photo hanging around. All of a sudden she blurts out really loud and excited..."Look at the **** on that bat!" I literally ran out of there..EMBARRASSED!
Thanks for the memory, Greg All Nice shots as usual...

Using Rx10 IV at Present:-D I think I would have run outside and hid in the bushes at that point, too.

Fun with both!
The key to a good animation is no movement of the frame between shots. otherwise it jumps like the eagle one-
