I love the back views of birds and interesting wing patterns, when they cooperate..

Great capture Sandy. I agree about the wing patterns from the back. Really nice old perch. Well done.

A lovely Audubon's, Sandy. I do like the back view with the over-the-shoulder look. Excellent detail in both the bird and the perch with a really sweet bg. Well done.

A wonderful image all around, tack sharp, fun pose. One of those captures that the longer you look at it the better it gets. You nailed it, great job Sandy. devil

Really nice detail and view of this Oriole. Pretty background. I'm a fan of less centered images but this is a preference.
