It is raining here today so not much happening. I did hang up some orange. The pictures are just beautiful.

Egrets taking the early morning sun.
Taken from high bluff at a distance of over 1 mile at 40x with lots of air turbulance so don't expect perfection. Just thought I'd change the scale of pictures here.

Nice shots guys..
I have a couple butterfly shots in my CN Gallery that i
took last year, Owl butterfly and a Dead Leaf butterfly
if anyone wants to look.
Sparrow, i went back this morning to check the nest i found
a week or so ago and found that that nest was pretty much
gone, might have been an old nest after all, about 25' away i just happened to notice another nest, it wasnt there before and after carefully looking at it i could see it had
eggs in it, thing is the eggs look a pale blue with black
spots, marked like Warbler eggs but they looked blue instead of the white that i read they should be.
Anyway, here`s a shot of the nest and a not so good shot of
the bird that attends it.
I guess its a Yellow Warbler, just looked a little big to
me for some reason.

Nice shots everyone. Keeps me hauling out the scope. The Baltimore Oriole stopped by this morning. It did not touch the oranges I put out, so I moved them.

Big D ,
Not wishing to be disrespectful , but if that is a REAL bird -- it is the most TWO dimensional image I've ever seen in a photo !

Perhaps it's just an especially shallow depth of field...?

That's what I would call a shallow DOF.
