The bird is in sharp focus with a nicely blurred background further enhancing your picture. Equipment itself doesn't matter, only the results. Well done.

I just can't imagine being so faithful in the pursuit of different species but the photos are always so amazing and you get to see birds the rest of us can only look at in books when there are rare sightings! But I "get" why you didn't want to pursue the first one you wrote of...sometimes you have to be really tired of the energy it takesA Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267933877592148187.post-29152563371911966562015-12-13T16:38:52.864-05:002015-12-13T16:38:52.864-05:00Terrific birds and what a sky ]

Great set of pictures.<br /><br />I keep my camera in a small dry bag on days like the one on Mt. Gower - the greater problem was condensation - it was very humid, and often the lens would fog up. In truth, a number of the pictures were taken with my phone camera, which just stayed in an outside pocket. <br /><br />Cheers - Stewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-267933877592148187.post-29934116234743528792015-12-12T15:18:29.064-05:002015-12-12T15:18:29.064-05:00Gorgeous images...your bird photos....ALL of THEM,...Gorgeous images...your bird photos....ALL of THEM, look like they could be exceptionally painting murals!!

Thanks for sharing both these birds with us. I also didn't know there was a bird called a Spiralis which resembles our Bunting. I love the Orioles and can relate to them. I've seen the Tri-colored Heron on a Eileen's blog (Viewing Nature with Eileen) thanks for sharing this bounty! Have a great day.
