4 is hilarious and I’ve never seen one sleep like that. Yes you can crop yet can’t go too far as the quality starts to fail. I’ve found that when I wade out to the birds, many accept me and don’t flee so I get very close.

Morris,
Thank you for visiting my thread, it is greatly appreciated!!

Hope I don't seem too picky but I think the first two, (the Bufflehead), look like Her rather than Him.
They are on the pond in front of us but they will not let me get close, you did well.

How can you not love the 4th shot...it is brilliant. Nice grab on the red shouldered and yup shooting between branches is quite a bit harder than a nice clean sky and a big bird.
Well done!

Mr M sure is a colorful, pretty shot!!!
