A fine set. Very sharp and nicely composed.
Nice set. A little too saturated for me.
Wow, color and sharpness superb!
Wow Don! This is an amazing set. Tack sharp and so well composed. Of course I'm partial to the Neon Skimmer shots.

Great pix and an interesting capture - scaly breasted munia. Per Audubon “ Native to southern Asia, this small waxbill is a popular cagebird. Escapees from captivity have established wild populations in several parts of the world. The species is now widespread and common in coastal California, from San Jose to San Diego, and other local populations are established around Houston, Texas, at a few spots farther east along the Gulf Coast, and in southern Florida. Usually seen in flocks.”. A new bird to watch out for.

Thanks bamfordr for your kind comments and the very interesting information on this unique looking bird. I found them to be a bit skittish, but on occasion they will stay still long enough for a photo opportunity. The do congregate in flocks and love perching on the reeds at El Dorado Park.
