Beautiful babbler. Never heard of them, let alone see one.
Too bad your outings didn't deliver 'stuff'

I have an unusual bird I shot this summer.
It's a Lammergier or Bearded Vulture


It has drastic food habits


It's swallowing a complete goat's leg here.
It has stomach acid with a pH of 1.0, enough to dissolve the goat's leg

And off with the next bone



All with ILCE-1 100400GM +1.4X

Beautiful work with the vulture, I like the processing on 1, but the poses on 2 and especially 3 are fantastic.

If the third were my photo I would be tempted to rotate and crop to get rid of the background so it's all feathers and face.

I've never seen a babbler, cute little bugger.

Juvenile Bald Eagle probably 2 or 3 years old.

Bald Eagle.
2 of the five nests I am monitoring are incubating eggs. This guy at the University of Florida Agriculture Research location helped to successfully raised to eaglets last year but has yet to settle down this year.

Thanks, Charles, Paul.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime event to shoot a lammergier ( I think).

Robert, these are unique shots. And I like that you follow several nests.
Somehow the skies behind your bald eagles are a little mushy as if there is a lot of color noise.

Beautiful shots, Charles! The crested barbet is great.
More Dyxumer, less photographer.
