You call these 'stragglers' I'm crawling back in my hole now.



Nice work as usual, GP.

Very nice set, Tim.
The first stands out for me. Great timing and composition.

Beautiful set Tim, hope you have many more leftovers to share. For favourite I pick The great blue and the lazy humming bird perched rather than hovering for a meal.

Rob

Lazy hummingbird You know I always think that when they feed while perched!

Thanks Rob!

Super work Tim. I've seen shorebirds chase flying bugs like that crow is doing. Kind of comical to watch.

That must be something to see Ken. Thanks for the good words!

OK first things first, your Greenie looks a bit washed out to me Tim, pale in contrast?

Everything else is pretty good, ahhh, really good, ahhhhh most wonderful, ahhhhhhh thanks for the Flower (Queen Annes Lace), pick it and put it in some water with food color added to change its color

Hummers, Herons, Crows and Flickers, nice mix buddy! Is that a hornet coming out of the hole by the Flicker??

Karl

You're right about the Greenie Karl. For what it is worth the RAW is just as flat and when I tried cranking the contrast up it did nothing, I even moved the slider to the max

Yes indeed Queen Annes Lace, that stuff grows like mad here. I'll have to try feeding it colored water

Thanks for the honesty and nice words Karl

Hummerz are gorgeous Tim... 5 is ridiculously good buddy.
The subtle color changes on the GBH are beautiful, love the pose, I like it a lot... but I'm a GBH junkie.
The crow looks like he's gagging on a bug and coughing it up.
Juvi NF looks super, I would love to find one sometime.
Greenie up a tree is something we don't often see.

Great stuff, hope the weather turns around for you guys soon.

Kruk

I'm kind of partial to 5 myself Mr Kruk. I just don't like all the stuff on the right side of the frame

The GBH was in that spot for hours, I work him a few times that morning.

I thought if I said the Crow was chasing the bug it sounded a lot nicer than "a Crow puking up a bug"

Head up north my friend, Flickers are quite common.

Thanks for all the good words Kirk, maybe someday we'll photograph Flickers together

Tim

Beautiful set Tim - the hummers are amazing
