  1. Wow!! Jane and Jane your bird photographs are amazing, The men took spectacular photographs as well! I try to ready to capture images of the wildlife, too. Someday!

  2. Thanks all one more time, you certainly give us pictures of birds, animals, & locations. Those of some of us never see any of the beautiful pictures you share, with actually our own locations. Once again, “Thank You” (so much).

  3. Thanks Lynn. You’re absolutely right! We had a yellow bellied last week, this was the first red bellied.
    And thank you all for the lovely comments everyone.

    Keep shooting, Heidi, you’ll get there. Wildlife takes luck and lots of practice!

  7. Wow! Thanks so much, George. I really enjoy the ‘birds in flight’ challenge and continue to try to keep you entertained :). By the way, there’s a chipmunk running around the snack bar auditioning for the furry antics photo shoot, so stay tuned.
