It's that time of year. I always look forward to this thread.

Lets do one photo per week for each quarter of the year as we have done in the past.

Week One Dec 1- 9, After that a new week / quarter will start every Friday.

Looking forward to all the great shots to come.

Thanks for starting the thread Troy. I agree with the plan. So it would look like this:
Q1 shot posted Dec 1-8
Q2 shot posted Dec 9-15
Q3 shot posted Dec 16-22
Q4 shot posted Dec 23-30

I will start digging up my Q1 ASAP....gets harder ever year to pick the 4 best!!

And here are the links to previous years for anyone that is new here or hasn't seen these amazing threads before...

I'll play.

Maybe not my best, but I love Tricoloreds so here is my favorite from Q1.

Its been a painfully slow year for me since moving to LA, but I did manage to squeeze out a few shots here and there.....

This was the first male Ruby Throated Hummingbird that showed up in my garden. It was on 3/20/2016.
Maybe not my best, but the first of the year is always special to me.

Here is my Q1....shot Feb 6th 2016.

I almost posted a mating shot but then checked back and saw I posted a mating shot last year for Q1....so this year is just some "honey do" arguments and home decorating getting ready for the nesting season.

Yeah, I saw her on the news last night but does it really have anything to do with this thread?? She won Nature's Best this year....very nice photo....although many others have the exact same shots...especially the few I've seen that were obviously right beside her that day

My first osprey shot during my third month of photography, March 2016.

Not sure what this behavior is supposed to mean

Great images to kick off 2016's Best! I sent Fred a PM to ask him to make this thread a sticky so it can be at the top, right where it belongs

.

Didn't get out nearly as much in 2016, so my contributions will be rather pedestrian compared to the beautiful work posted already

Nothing pedestrian about this image, mitesh. Besides the great IQ, it's an express train straight to the heart. Cuter than hell.

Pure joy to look through these! Thank you all for taking my mind off the fact that we are now mostly in the dark, grey and non-subject season. It doesn't mean I won't stop looking for photo ops, but it makes me appreciate these wonderful images that much more!

Thanks for posting!

Do those of us who haven't posted in awhile get extra spots?

Motivated by Socrate's Pair o' Mergies (amazing capture), here's an SS (solo shoveler) from SJWS (Tim's and Kirk's neck of the woods) in January.
