Very nice Barry. Your bird? Did you get out for the early teal season? I remember your posts of late season diver hunting but I haven’t seen any waterfowl hunting photos in a while.

Beautiful mount! It's easy to take common birds for granted until you look closely. I love to take photos with a telephoto lens and then zoom in close to see the colors and iridescence in the feathers, etc. The pine siskins and dark-eyed juncos are very common, drab looking birds but when you zoom in their true colors show.

This is a client's bird from late last season. I did not get out for teal this year.

They are even more spectacular when you have them in hand. God's work is amazing! @DLJeffs BTW Doug, your photos are off the charts

Nope. Got home yesterday evening, carried stuff in and relaxed. Tried to catch up on sleep but NOPE. I'll get to it later. Hope the hurricane didn't hit you and everybody in her path is okay.
