Christian, one difference between a good bird photographer and me is
that good bird photographers are taking pictures at 7:35 in the morning
in winter.
There are lots of others, but anyway, lovely pictures. Thanks.

thanks John. Of course I wasn't up at 7:35 in the winter shooting birds
either.... These two were done at around 5pm (I think the camera is an
hour ahead). I thought about getting up the next morning, but when I
heard the wind howling around the house at 6am I rolled over and fell
asleep. :-)
BTW, I accidentally deleted the other replies, so thanks to those who
replied with opinions. Personally i like this one better:

because I find the pose of the bird more "engaging." the other one:

I think is too "flat"
And yes, they were shot off a tripod. Except for flight shots, I always
use a tripod or my frying pan ground pod.
