I got out in the yard early this morning. Most of my locals were willing to pose for these 9 shots.

Feel free to offer suggestions.

Wow, did you ever catch some nice ones here, Vicki! The 'Soloist' is my pick, but those hummers are just beautiful, and the scrub jay's shot is exquisite! Excellent work!!!

I've painted a lot of pet portraits for people and have often been asked whether I painted people. My response was "if they're covered with fur or feathers." Come in costume and I'll provide the light and camera. :-D

Thank for the nice reply Bob.

For all of these I used the Canon 100-400L mounted on the 7D.

Thanks for looking and commenting. I appreciate it.

Some of these were within 10'. They're finally getting used to me.

The mockingbird is now doing scrub jay imitations. There's no end to his repertoire. I enjoy listening to him as well as trying to get shots. Fortunately he's not put off by my presence.

Thanks for the lovely comments Randy. I appreciate them.
