Walking along the bike path which runs along a forested area and a creek this morning. Most of the birds I saw stayed extremely distant.
Including this acorn woodpecker...but when I blew up (cropped) the image, I saw what was in its mouth!
This particular blackbird had an interesting way of spreading his wings---
At the end of the walk, I saw a small flock of cedar waxwings temporarily alight in a tree. But then, as though moving with one mind, they all took wing once more---

Happy for you and the bird looks really cool. I can only imagine how graceful it is when it expand those wings, etc.

When I saw this bird flying in from Lake Michigan I first thought it was an Osprey. As it flew over my car I pulled over, grabbed a camera and hoped to get a shot. By the time I brought the camera up to focus the bird had landed on the opposite side of a pine tree. As I walked around the tree it noticed me and gave me a glance before taking off out of view. It's not an Osprey but it is one of the bigger, more powerful looking hawks I think I've ever seen.

Lovely shot Irene!
I see you are using the excellent Fuji 70-300mm. I don't know if you have one, but the 1.4 tele converter works very well with this lens!
My wife gets great results using that lens with the converter.

Thanks John! Getting used to the OM-1 and shooting at 3000th of a sec or higher. My first attempts were not in such good light and these and were very noisy. Very happy with the OM-1 it locks on focus so fast. I have only managed to capture the white Cockatoos and Crimson Rosellas so far. Hope to get others soon. Cheers, Rob

Stu, yes third attempt. I'm very lucky though because I have the birds right outside of my house, front, side, back and across the road is bushland. My first 2 attempts were done on very overcast days and low light ( got a few keepers after denoising), but the third attempt was a nice sunny day and that really made a big difference.Eh Rob, this is only your third attempt at BIF?

I'm not sure, most likely candidates seem to be a Sanderling or a Little Stint

Excellent and very nicely composed.
and were very noisy.
That made me smile. For the non Aussie contingency these are one of the noisiest birds about. Especially when flocked together. Deafening!
