Nothing brand new but all from this year, late spring and summer. Garry, couldn't you get that Emu to comb it's head? Love the chick shots Duane especially the first one.

Nearby where I live, these birds are literally running loose in the streets. They are actually in peoples yards and so forth. I really should have more pictures of these guys, but I don't...

Nice collection everyone.. seems to me it's mostly the guys that seem to be interested in shooting the birds.. O

Shiva .. great light on that shot.. and Garry.. that emu looks mighty disgruntled if you ask my opinion. Great shot :-)

I managed to get a few at the Baltimore zoo on Sunday.. DA 50-200 + Tammy 1.4 TC<div>00QZF5-65643684.thumb.jpg.d834c3d8811c808d6462c1a9d1e709c2.jpg</div>

Javier, You have peacocks around wild? You must get out there with some of that wonderful glass you have. I

really like the second Pelican shot.

 

Haig, great shot of the penguin. Very funny with the last shot.

 

Very nice capture Robert. These guys are tough to get and take off before you even see them most of the time.O

Shiva, that show is just surreal. Love the PP work. Is it one image or 2?

 

Funny you guys should like the sparrow. It was taken with FA*300 on a cold day in spring. I was told they puff up

for 2 reasons. To look bigger and tougher and to stay warm.

 

This one was taken about 3 weeks later and he's singing his heart out. Again FA*300

Peter, Over in Arcadia, there is the arboretum where there are wild birds and plants and it is a gorgeous place. well the Peacocks simply fly over the fence (i have been told as I did not think they flew) and have simply taken up residence in the neighborhood...I Live 5 miles from there and have seen the peacocks as close as two miles away. People love them things running around making a ruckus...

 

As for the Sparrow, while we are all used to seen them and we are used to seeing endless number of photos of them, your image is well composed and shows the beloved Sparrow in a different light...It is a great bird shot.
