Didn't know #12 was a raptor? That is a crazy shot!

Great looking series overall.

If that's what spring looks like there, I want to spend a week or so with you 
! That's one heck of a random set
You make it tough to pick favorites. If I had to pick one it would be # 13. Excellent set Greg.

What a wonderful set. Made me smile (many times) and generated a bunch ooohs for the little ones.
To learn something today, can someone tell me what what kind of bird is #3?

vbnut - First of all thank you for taking the time to view and comment I truly appreciate it. The bird is Male Ruffed Grouse. It's standing on what is called a drumming log and he is drumming. He will typically beat his wings 45-48 times within 5 to 8 seconds of drumming. It's a really cool thumping sound to hear in the woods. Do a Google search for Ruffed Grouse drumming and there are multiple videos you can watch and listen to if you are interested. Here are a couple more images in the drumming sequence.
