Otter, fantastic set of birds with excellent detail in DDLs. I love the entire set and the first one is looking for a wall to hang on.

Thanks for the input. I, too, liked the GBH in the tree, and wanted to make a large print. However, for some reason the heron's head was slightly blurred and I worked hard to improve on it. Finally was forced to use Topaz AI Clear to get what is shown. I rarely process pics solely for web use, as I photograph and process primarily for printing. Thus, get a bit lost re all of this social media stuff. Now, to bare my soul and show my complete ignorance re the latter, what is meant by "double download"?
Sorry for the ramblings of an 82 yr young retired educator!

Two pics of Great Blue Heron. One is resting on a lichen encrusted tree branch. Perhaps over processed a tad (or more!).
The second is of a wading GBH in stream. Should have shown a bit more of the stream in this one.
Anyway hope they are worth viewing. Taken with Nikon D500, Nikkor 200-400 f4 VR, wide open and full zoomed, using a Gitzo monopod.
Third is of a Blue Jay, taken with Nikon D2X and lens as above. Fourth is a Snowy Egret with
"bait". Same setup as with bluejay.

Thanks all! The light is natural by the way although it lost a bit of brightness on the upload.

Beautiful photos, Ottercreek! Can you tell me about your fat feeder, please?
Patty, when I'm wandering thru woodlots and the like, I constantly keep watch for rotting fallen trees and large branches looking for those that have cavities or rotting knotholes. I can usually chisel out holes that are not quite large enough.
Saw the section to about 3-4' in length and use metal pipe straps to attach the wood section to the pipe. use 3/4" to 1" metal pipe from Home Depot or Lowes, etc. Pound the. metal pipe in the ground couple of feet, attach the branch and you are good to go! I have used the current branch for 12 years now. Local bird house/bird feeder shops want me to make them for sale but they aren't willing to pay enough! In the next day or so I will post a photo of the setup.
