Lots of fascinating images posted here. I can't think of a definite favorite but this would be one.

'After the rut'
This was one of my favourites this year for a several reasons - it was my first day out with a newly acquired Oly E Zuiko 300mm F2.8 (shot was taken with the 1.4tc on an old E-1) and the lens performed far better than I had hoped, it was my first visit to Richmond Park in the UK and the Autumn weather was just perfect and finally the A3+ print from "only" 5MP has to be seen to be believed. I can't wait for my E-3 to arrive to get some A2 size prints from this lens :-))

this might be my favorite thread ever! Seriously, I want to go out and buy dozens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and trips...
I don't really shoot wildlife and am a little embarrassed to bring the thread down like this BUT

So many wonderful photos posted. It wasn’t hard for me to pick out my best of the year. I don’t have that many to choose from. I am getting better each year and look forward to having a nice 2008.
These guys migrate through Ohio in late April early May. I do most of my shooting during this time. Birding was my passion before getting into nature photography and they seem to blend so nicely together. I was very pleased to get everything right on this shot: focus, exposure, and close to the subject! This photo won 1st place in a local nature exhibit/contest for amateurs.

My contribution... I'm pleased to be in the same thread as such talented photographers!
Great stuff, all. I chose this image as it captures (to my eyes) the feeling one gets exposing
yourself to the magic of the "Bosque".

Plenty of spectacular shot here folks! Great job all. 
This isn't technically my best shot, but it was a great deal of fun and adventure getting it! ( if you weren't here the first time I posted this, do a search for my ealier thread called Hawkowl)

I can't imagine having to choose just one favorite from a whole year. It's tough enough choosing a favorite from a shoot sometimes (out of the 3 keepers I get on average).
That said, I do really like this one from just yesterday morning. I've been working on hummingbird shots for a few months now and this was a good day.

What a great collection of images! Super stuff--and very inspiring.
I have several favorites from this year-- so it is hard to choose--this is one of my better shots.

Great collection. I was wandering what to post for this. Finally decided to post this as my favorite capture for 2007. Two reasons I like this photo
1. The lighting
2. The bird it self. – I like Pelicans..

Like others its too hard to decide your own "best" of the year. I will go with this one, because I just got the call, I won the canon parks contest for 2007 with this image!

Nature on a Grand Scale
Although it's difficult to single out one favorite, I think this shot pretty much meets the criteria for me. I took this on the 30th of November. Comet Holmes has grown so large that I could no longer fit it comfortably in my telescope's field of view so I decided to use my 300f4L to try and capture a relatively wide field of view. The comet currently resides in the beautiful star fields of the constellation Perseus.

Love this shot, I spent July in Katmai, the bears in the wild was the most exciting photographic experience of my life, can't wait to go back.
Congratulations Chris

Early this year, while my son was still two years old, we were walking out of the Outrigger Club and he grabbed my finger and tugged on it while pointing to the limb of a Plumeria tree just above eye level (my eye level, that is). Sitting on it was a just hatched Fairy Tern waiting for its parents to return with food. Every day after that he would ask me if we were going to go visit the Fairy Tern. He watched it grow up and eventually fly away. He still peers at the tree limb when we go by there in hopes that it will return. It's pretty hard to photograph anything with a 2 year old climbing all over you or what you are trying to image, but we took these pictures together with him waving his arms and trying to throw leaves at it to see it move (sigh). I love Fairy Terns, I love my son, and I love taking pictures, so this before/after shot is full of good things for me.

I hesitate to even include any of mine amongst such wonderful images, but I thought this one, of a Cactus Wren at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, in S.California in March, was one of my best, and brought back happy memories of a wonderful birding trip.
