"The Birds"



My bird images from the Texas Gulf Coast shoot in February has finally been narrowed down to 36 photos, cropped square (1:1). Now I need to pick 4-6 to print on metal at 30"x 30" for gallery display.

I have my Nikon 'hand-held,' but ospreys not here due to pushy geese; the osrey pair here had returned every year for a long time.

For Gallery display? Will you be having a show? I remember when you had a show before.

Best of luck!

I think the one with two terns side byside is a good candidate (row 5, pic 3).

They're such comical looking birds They look like they're wearing little black wigs. And those bright orange bills really pop!

…I like the nesting hummingbird. So far, there have been fewer migrating through or area this year. 2nd choice is number 16, looks like a bad hair day.
