That's a beauty. Nice shots!
I was walking through a local wildlife preserve today and heard something moving around in the leaves and other debris. It was a Brown Thrasher digging - I don't know if it was building a nest or looking for food. I got a few shots of it there but it was a very dark area - then I got lucky and it flew to an open area. Its song is very sweet.

Beautifully executed photos, Tom. The watercolor adaptation is excellent!
Love the Killdeer. Excellent set.
At some point in time new cameras will include some form of AI - perhaps to prevent blown out areas, or an AI white balance, etc. So, drawing the line about what's acceptable is very difficult to document as it's a moving target.
Personally, I'm not enamored with AI since it takes away from the photographer's skills. Maybe we should change this forum to a non-digital one - I still have several film cameras (lol).
Thanks to all for viewing and commenting. Today I only saw a Song Sparrow. There are more bird types in my yard than in the parks! I'm hoping migration is just late and hasn't passed this area.
