Pretty neat little guys! Nice shooting. Love the golden mantled GS.

It is a good shot with the little guy popping with some nice bokeh (background blur). Nice work!
We all like to shot the big guys,but I think the "little" ones are fun also.
Last spring in Yellowstone we got to see a lot on little ones.
Thanks for the pics.

Thanks Steve,you sure have posted some great bird shots.
Keep posting.
We see a lot of different birds on our 4 mile morning walk but never take the camera along. And the I-pnone
just doesn't get it.

Frank, thanks so much for the kind words! I wish I was getting out more, but it seems like there is always something going on.

Love it. Color is my preference on this one.Wandering Sagebrush said:On the launch pad... All systems go...

That's some serious reach, and crop also?
Thanks for restarting the wildlife thread.

Wow, sweet shot. I too prefer the color version.

Got out this afternoon to Sutter NWR. Sweeping mares tail clouds dimmed the light a bit, and a brown haze filled the valley. I found some quiet farm roads and took Callie along. She's trained to run with a vehicle and we also did a short walk below one of the levies.
Walking along the bottomland we came upon a great horned owl, sitting with his back to us. The bird tolerated us walking up fairly close.
Northern harriers are a favorite of mine. I saw this guy hunting along a canal, and watched him dive.
He had a mole or gopher, but couldn't take time to eat it, since a RTH had decided to join the meal. After a scuffle on the ground, they both took off.
