    My pleasure. Cardinals are seemingly everywhere around here, but I never tire of photographing them, especially the males with their striking red & black plumage. Thanks again Giangiorgio for your comments, ciao.

    Thanks as always, Giangiorgio. Lately I’ve been using a speed light with diffuser. I set the exposure to auto iso, e-ttl flash with -2/3 ev comp. This seems to work well in most situations, tho I do vary the exposure comp as the situation requires. Ciao, Charles.

    A common spring and summer resident of the eastern US and Canada, come fall, these vireos begin their southward migration all the way to the Amazon Basin.

    Hi Giangiorgio, another memorable image to say the least. I like the colors, reflections, the minimalism and soft background afforded by the "tele-compression" effect of a super zoom lens. Excellent technique; well done in all respects! Ciao, Charles

    Hi Vincent, thank you so much for your observations. Since taking this series of photos I've found youtube vids of cormorants swallowing even larger fish. They can be very ambitious indeed!

    Thank you Giangiorgio! Before this experience I didn't know cormorants could stab their prey. I imagine this one pinned the catfish to the shallow bottom where the bullheads typically feed, then surfaced with the fish in it's beak like a skewer. I'm attaching a close crop of that moment.

    Shortly after arriving riverside at the Potomac River, DC, this Double-crested Cormorant emerged suddenly with a large Brown Bullhead catfish (Ameiurus nebulosus) trapped in it's beak, tailfin flapping in the wind. Apparently the cormorant impaled it's catch in several places in it's effort to subdue the fish before swallowing it whole.

    I was finally lucky enough to grab a shot of this very illusive ground foraging songbird species, which is often heard (deep in the woods) but seldom seen.

    Thank you so much for your comment, Vincent. I kinda enjoy playing with DoF at this range. I recently purchased a reverse mount macro adaptor which I use primarily with my old EF 70-200/4 L lens. The adapter allows full communication with camera and lens including AF, though AF is not really useful for macro. Not sure what's going on with PN's settings dialog...exif data seldom transfers correctly. Actual data: f/5.6 @ 1/6s, ISO-200, (118mm focal lenth, lens reverse mounted).

    Cicadas have a kind of prehistoric look about them. They move slowly, deliberately; they fly slow. I can easily imagine them scaled up to an enormous prehistoric size. The noise they might’ve made!

    Thank you so much my friend. A greatly appreciated compliment indeed. These new sigma lenses offer a lot of bang for the buck. I’m very happy with the overall performance of my lens, especially for wildlife applications.

    Thanks Vincent! I’ve been lucky this spring, spotting several warblers that are new to me. They aren’t the easiest birds to photograph, as you know, and this one was no exception. This species is unique among warblers in that it possesses relatively strong legs & an extra long rear claw allowing to forage up & down tree trunks like a nuthatch.

    Nice shot! Sharp focus on the eye. I especially like how you’ve made the colors pop with your camera’s flash without a hint of overexposure. Well done!
