Thaks Tony. I've never seen one before. It's a beautiful bird.

Great photos, I like them all.
In my humble opinion, and I mean it honestly, I think you should
publish only the best shot of a particular subject in a particular
pose.
Kind of less is more, I tend to skip over the shots similar to the one
I have just seen and that does not do them justice.

That is an Eastern Bluebird.

Eastern Bluebird it is.

The Painted Bunting is entirely different;

A better redition is at this other Cornell site, imo:

Technically OK, but aesthetically anemic.

No shit Sherlock. The good ones never get posted to the net. Though I have
given one of these away as a print to strangers on occasion who couldn't
afford my work. I don't consider any of these as marketable shots. That's
why they're safe to post to the net. They are only meant to show that any
good P&S in the hands of someone with talent can capture the same subject
matter as any DSLR. I would never engage anyone on the net in some
photographic artistic-talent challenge like some little girl's popularity
contest. You'd all throw your cameras away after seeing what kind of base
snapshooters you are, no matter the price of your cameras.

That's what it is. It, and the Belted Kingfisher, I wouldn't call signs of
spring here in NY, because we have them both all year. Maybe more
bluebirds in spring than winter, but I see more Kingfishers in the winter
than in the spring.

John, if you really enjoy shooting small birds I highly recommend the
Elizabeth Morton sanctuary which is located between Noyack and Sag Harbor.
the best shooting area is about 50yds from the parking lot. At worst it's a
great excuse to visit the East End.

Plonk.
The OP wanted to share some shots and is happy spring is around the corner.
You are just being a first class jerk.
Savageduck
What did you expect?
Your identification of GGBrowne as a first class jerk is accurate. He
is just another of the nym cloaks of the resident tiresome,
nym-shifting, obnoxious problem.
Of course he will reappear in another guise and tell both of us what he
thinks of us, and everybody else in any of the photo newsgroups.

Forgive him, father; for he knows not what he does.
I mean that quite literally: he's psychotic.

Thanks; I'll keep that in mind when I finally venture out that way.

If the past is any indicator, the small birds will be leaving within a week
or two.
