Hooded Oriole

Green Valley, AZ

Truly a lucky shot - I was parked on the golf course shooting a men's golf tournament. I heard a bird, turned to my left, and there was this beauty sitting in a tree not too far away. I got off a few shots before he flew away.

To Traveller, we spent some time at Echo Park lake on the last trip out and there were humming birds all over the place. If you ask me a well shot hummer trumps just about all other birds out there. Just about!!! But if your like me your way under lensed to be shooting humming birds. Paul

Fabulous colors! I've read where more than one person complained that their 100-400 was soft at 400, don't look like yours is. Paul

Traveller... Griffith Park might be the answer for you.

Traveller - thanks. You may just need to go out one suburb and find a nice large park where they might gather.
I am hoping/planning on heading up to a regional wildlife refuge next week; about 60-70 miles north of where I am.

Jim, this is extraordinarily good....clean, no blurs, great color and an interesting subject. I'd like to do a bird this Challenge myself, but long have I bemoaned the lack of songbirds in the Los Angeles urban area. Traveller...still, I might try
