Trying to breath some life into this thread. Lesser yellowlegs at Minnesota River backwaters this afternoon.

From walkabout the other day at Theo Wirth Park. Heard it calling and found it. You can figure out what it is, my 5-year-old grandniece aced the I.D. (she's a pretty smart little girl).
Out golfing this afternoon, nearly ran this little guy over with the cart when my eyes were on my ball.
We had our bike show last weekend. Here are a few photos I took trying to be artistic with a few of them
Here's my favorite pic from spring break~ Eden Falls, Arkansas:
Went birding walkabout this evening but got distracted by butterflies.
Monarch on swamp milkweed.

Nikon D7500 with 200-500mm Nikon lens. Missed a sharper image cause I was setup to shoot Soras in the twilight and shade of cattails and looked the other way to see the egret, so was at 1/640 and f/5.6. Something like 1/1000 at f/11 would have been better but no time to mess around, just had to shoot, only had time to change focus mode. Never seem to be ready for birds taking off!
BTW, anything posted here looks little sharper if you click on it if it's an larger size image. The forum compression to make it fit in the message window degrades everything.
More herons, summer of the Green Heron here in Minnesota.
From walkabout today in Mpls along Miss river. Eastern Screech-Owl, red morph.
Nice! Fellow Twin Cities birder here. DM me if you are comfortable sharing the location of this owl. I'll trade you for the location of these guys (if you haven't already seen them).

good pic. My only suggestion the subjects in the upper left: move them over to the right a little, remembering the one-third, two-third rule.
Hey- you’re talking to a total amateur. I feel like I just got lucky on that one. Glad you like it- even if it’s not perfect!
I have been in photography for 40 years (took classes at ISU). That picture was not something you "got lucky" on. You have a very good eye for this (not a total amateur).
