Fantatsic, one of your best. The pose and detail are great and the exp looks spot on! Very nice gail and TFS!

I like this! Graet dynamic pose and excellent techs. The bird was not looking at you but that's not a big nit IMHO.

I like this! Great pose, excellent techs. The bird is not looking at you but that's a small nit.

Wow, this is amazing, Gail. How can you be bored of birds when they look this great.
I started birding almost on a daily basis in around 1998. As I go to the same places, I noticed drastic decline in overwintering duck population in Burlington Bay and a huge decline in songbirds and raptors.
If you are interested in the topic, a Canadian/American author by the name of Bridget Stutchbury has a book published not too long ago:
Silence of The Songbirds.

This shows their power and habitat nicely. Well done.

Excellent sharpness and pose. The whites and the eye look just a little bright. I have maybe half of the birds on my property now compared to the last two years. Some northern migrants that I usually enjoy are just not here. I think a mild winter and a huge mast crop has a little to do with it.

Hi Gail, you have outdone yourself with this. Very well timed to capture the pre-take off pose with the raised wings. Good choice of F stop, a fast ss, which has rendered excellent sharpness all round. Did I mention that you have also exposed this so, so well. Congrats on a fine image.

Nice timing on capturing this pose Gail. I also like the BG color and texture of the somewhat melted ice.
-
Very powerful talons and excellent wing position. I also find the HA not the best but is fine since I'm not the HA policeman! :) Love the light and the fact that is standing on ice.
