A stylish blur in the bg of this charming singer. Superb close-up of this beautiful bird.
In fact is it a time consuming effort to check the locations of certain species each year. Often places remained empty in the past.

A beautifully detailed image of this Blackbird Stanley. Unusual for me to see them standing out in the open like this and not buried in the swamp grass.

This is really special Stanley ..what terrific detail. And it's a really handsome bird too, even better with the excellent exposure

Great close-up of this songster. I love how they self-harmonize - like Tuvan throat singers :D
