Hi JTL,

I believe this is a cat bird, named for it's meowy (is that a word?) call. I really like the detail in your mourning dove, by the way.

Hi all,

This picture was taken with an old Canon Powershot Pro 90 IS.

That last shot is fantastic! I love the framing above and below by the cypress branches and roots.

A W E S O M E shot. This is one of the best I have seen with hummingbirds. Great job!

Yes I love the serene qualities of that egret shot & the contrast with the captured energy in the hummingbird shot. Well done guys excellent work. I've nothing so dramatic but I did capture a cheaky robin feeding on something tasty when I was gardening last weekend.

Great shot! I haven't seen that type robin around my area. Tried to bring up where you live in hopes one of those will come my way but that data wasn't available.

My daughters baited this bird in close with a cookie - as you can see in the picture.
