I dunno...he was either just landing or very happy to see you...

I knew I had that in the kitty from a while ago. Went hunting and threw a quick colouring over it as I'm pretty sure his left thumbnail is making contact..!

Zoom in, you can see there's a seagull unflighted up on the exhaust beside the mast...

Streak throated woodpecker, very early in the morning.

You smashed this one Chaitali, a beautiful image. The colours look brilliant!

This is what it looks like when I try to get creative.

Charlyee, I was paging through this thread and remembered I wanted to look up 'Streak Throated Woodpecker', then forgot. I thought it was a domestic species but was surprised to see it's from the Indian subcontinent. Was this part of your recent trip abroad? It's a great shot, I've never even heard of this one before.

Haven't posted in this thread in a while. Some more shots from the new setup. Mrs. Downy finally visited today along with the usual suspects. Still waiting for Cardinals, Jays, and I'd like to get the red bellied with the 200-600. And for some reason, the Dark Eyed Juncos are never around when I'm out there.

Today brought in sunshine and major cold. This little chubby with rust colored cap and eyeliner, is an American Tree Sparrow. I have never seen one in our backyard, so it was a pleasant Monday morning surprise.

That stuff is heading toward me with a forecast of 8-12" of snow. Why don't you help me out and just keep it up there?

Nice shot!
