N2 seems to have a lot of feather detail. I know that a lot of people are very averse to showing 100% detail, but could you post a 100% crop of the eye and fluffiness around, it as well as give us an idea of what the crop is relative to the whole image?

Since this is such a large crop I'd rather not put up a 100% shot. Here is the non crop

wow! and this was just the stuff that was lying around unprocessed. a really nice collection of stuff, tim. i, apparently like everyone else, really like the grebe shot. very tender.
for the record, i think #4 is a winter plumage spotted sandpiper. solitary, in all plumages, has white flecks on his back (which this bird lacks). he is also a bit stocky for a solitary which is bigger and has a more elongated appearance (kinda like a yellowlegs!)

Thank you Dorian!! Also thanks for the ID and info. I should have been more careful, I was IDing from memory, not always the best way to go
What a great PBG moment bro Love that image!
Funny stuff on the opener and I see now how Rails check their six
More fun with the rummy lookin Towhee and this one does look bewildered!
YL on the pads is a stunner with that sweet light and killer exposure control (these birds are tuuuuf)
Grats on the young Solitary (you Bas... ) At the Fill
All 3 of the JBE's are super sweet Tim especially #6 Hope you will introduce me one day
A terrific set, Tim.
I especially like the lighting on #5.
And #8 is purely delightful. I don't know much about grebes, but do mommas feed their babies?
Looking at her beak, I'd guess she was a vegetarian solely.

The PBGs just ignored me, it was a real treat to spend some serious time with them.
The Rail had me laughing, those guys are a bit funny
The Towhee must have been eating fermented berries
YL, another treat ole Ma Nature handed me
Solitary is a Spotted I miss ID , from the pond when it had some water in it in August.
BE's man those are golden times for photography and priceless moments to boot!
Sometimes we forget what we have 
Hope you will introduce me one day
