Bird nerd time of year

This thread has already used up the superlatives. Incredible. Thank you for posting.
 
I would pay for a copy of the last pic..... was that staged or did you just nail the pic of a lifetime?
 
Sure ain't point and shoot. Wish I had that kind of talent. Beautiful stuff mtmiller. Thanks. mtmuley
 
Wonderful images, especially of the stilts and the last avocet. And the snipe--most times I encounter them they're exploding from the vegetation at my feet and flying fast away.
 
I'm not nearly so dedicated or talented as mtmiller and I spend little time in post processing but here are a few of my recent bird nerd pics.

I shoot mostly small birds....


Green-breasted Mango, female




Rufous-tailed Hummingbird




Another Rufous-tailed



Magnificent Hummingbird




Green Violet-ear




Green-crowned Brilliant, female, showing the articulating maxilla or upper mandible




Green-crowned Brilliant, female, showing the long articulated tongue




Green-crowned Brilliant, juvenile male





The tiny Snowcap Hummingbird, male. It's a Selasphorus genus hummer smaller than our Calliope Hummingbird, and the fastest hummingbird I've ever seen, very difficult to photograph.




Violet Sabrewing




More Violet Sabrewing




White-throated Mountain Gem




White-necked Jacobin, male




White-necked Jacobin, showing the brilliant white neck on the male




White-necked Jacobin, male & female

 
Those are amazing, Hummer. I see a l lot of hummingbirds, but I never thought it would be possible to get them on camera in any consistent format as you obviously have.
 
Got my target species this morning. Mountain plover.

Nice hummers, Hummer.

My 8 year old son was sitting beside me as I scrolled through these.

His quote "Wow, those are awesome!"
 
I'll take threads you have to click on for 2000 Alex. Photos are amazing by both photographers. I'm always impressed with people that can capture bird magic.
 
Great photos, guys. Keep it up and you'll coax me into buying a real camera.
