What Else? More Birds!
I know, more birds. Seems like I don't have much else to photograph in the summer these days since the fox location I knew about dried up. Took these this morning out at Chatfield again. Found a huge group of Sparrows (mostly Bank Swallows) and Dan Walters.

Here is the first one flapping his little wings.

Another great set. I love your clean backgrounds.

Thanks for giving names to these LBJs (Little Brown Jobs) :biggrin:

Really nice series!
I especially like the puffed-up, content-looking 4th one.

These are awsome Kurt!
The feather detail in the swallows is the best I've seen. Nice job handling the exposure too

In an entire set of winners "Fluffy" is the ultimate winner today! What no shot of Dan?

What else? More excellence. You are making something extremely difficult look very easy, Kurt. :toast:

More birds? Hell, I can never get enough of your work with birds, Kurt!
Love the unique poses and the creamy bokeh, and the 'devlopment' is pitch perfect.

More birds? Yes, please!! :biggrin:

I like the character shown in #2. "Fluffy" looks sharp. How close are you for these excellent images?
