"The Birds"

[Bo Zarts]

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.

1. Great ones, Bo!

I was lucky to catch this osprey pair on nest adjacent to my southeren MD house, in 2021:

3. Beautiful!

I have not been so lucky getting any osprey shots.

5. ONLY because you don't live adjacent to their nest, I'm sure!

11. Seaside, Oregon has an Osprey Cam...

…a web cam aimed at an annual nesting site.

12. There are many 'osprey cams' throughout the country,

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.

2. Those are wonderful, my dear Bo!

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

Best of luck!

4. It's my standing gallery.

Just swapping out some old, stale stuff.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Ah, good! However, I wouldn't call your old stuff stale!

I do understand the need for new stuff!

Go for it!

7. How in the world can you possibly choose amoung all those beauties?

[calimary]

8. These are BEAUTIFUL! Each and every one of them!

Birds are magnificent, and utterly magical!

9. Thank youfor these.

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

17. That's one of my faves, too.

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

10. Tough choice, but...

…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.

18. I see several "bad hair days" in there, lol.

Must have been windy!

P.S. I agree about the hummingbird pic.

13. 4 favs are:

2nd row down: ( L to R) the egret (?) 3rd frm left and blue heron to its right. And far right edge pic in that same row.

Bottom right corner, maybe a swallow???

15. All 36, but 14, 16, and 36 are particular wowers to me.

Thank you for all the pictures you share. 😍
