Nice selection and variety.  Congrats on the sora- I don't recall seeing a picture of one posted here before.

Pretty much agree with what has been said above, but if you are committed to getting a tripod, then Leofoto makes an excellent carbon-fibre version which is a high quality knock-off of a familar ...

What a great set again. I particularly liked the tricolor and kingfisher.  What do you make of the color difference between the b&w warbler images?  The first has a distinctly blue tone in the ...

Some excellent captures Joachim and some good firsts!  What a great variety you found for this time of the year.  I have never been down to that park, but it is on my list now. My last recent ...

Placed 32^nd in the challenge. A female red-winged blackbird standing on a Lilly pad and seemingly angry at something....

Placed 37^th in the challenge. Steam pours out from boilers at this geothermal plant in Iceland. I immediately though black and white.

Nice images.   Those bluejays are taking over my feeders right now- about time they departed for Justin's neck of the woods!

Another great set.  Those spoonbills are a delight to the eye for us who never get to see them up north. I find the redstarts to be quite skittish and wanting to hide in the foliage, thus difficult ...

Nice captures.  Yet to get a good shot of one myself.  Can you say what part of the country  they were taken?

Nice, varied selection Raccoon #1 and the ibis are my favorites!

You can always find something interesting at Grindstone.  Here is a little green heron hiding in the shadows taken a few weeks ago.

Kudos on getting those dragonflies in flight.  Looking at the EXIF, you must have amazing light down there to be able to expose at 1/1000s/f7.1  and keep ISO at100!

Lovely images and such a great variety.  I envy you at this time of the year as many of our birds have departed in anticipation of colder days ahead.  Hopefully some owls will appear here soon to ...

Thanks for the supportive comment.

I watched this group of red-winged blackbirds harass a red tailed hawk for about 20 minutes.  Unfortunately the action took place over a 150 yards away, so even with the 200-600 the images are ...

Great colors and images.  Hoping the Fall colors stay around a bit longer.

The government in Ontario Canada has recently announced a cull of double-crested cormorants (the above is a juvenile I photographed just last week) lasting from October to December allowing ...

Normally, I don't like to shoot animal's backsides, nor do I like to shoot against a glaring sun, but the feathers of this great egret against the light provided a lovely image that was too good ...

Of course...duh!
