Fantastic work, Don! The three RWBBs on the willows is poetry in images.

Don, this is a terrific collection of images - very well done. I especially like the horned lark and the grouse.

Posted by Jeff Hackett on May 3, 2009 at 12:14 AM

All are excellent Don! I am partial to the third one with the three.

Love them all Don, especially the horned lark. Reminds me of the "mad bluebird" print. The grouse is exceptional too.

Posted by Paul Beiser on May 3, 2009 at 10:07 AM

Really like all of these, but the eagle really grabs me - he/she is looking right at you! Nice.

Posted by Morris McClung on May 3, 2009 at 10:43 AM

Outstanding work! All of them are just fantastic.
Aren't those yellow winged blackbirds though?

Posted by Don Grall on May 3, 2009 at 6:43 PM

Thanks everyone!
Morris: Definitely Red-winged BBs, the red patches which have yellow edge are not always seen when they are perched. Yellow-winged BBs only live in South America.

Great series, Don. The horned lark (best I've seen) and finch are tremendous. Awesome work!

Posted by Scott Fricke on May 4, 2009 at 8:32 PM

Those are all terrific Don, I especially like the Blackbirds composition.

Posted by Dan Walters on May 5, 2009 at 8:52 AM

Great images Don! I really like the bird facing the viewer in the first image.

Posted by Kelly Black on May 7, 2009 at 11:37 PM

I like all of them, but that bald eagle shot is killer. Nice shots.
