Tiger, nice photos of the Flicker. I've been hearing a lot of them, but no sightings.

Good collection of Sparrows, Rose. I got my first photo of a Savannah Sparrow yesterday.

Margaret, always like your colorful Rainbow Bee-eaters.

Pelle, I know what you mean about yesterday's weather conditions. I was across the bay at Bombay Hook for a few hours, in the afternoon. Part of Bombay Hook was closed for hunting but I did see what I went for, i.e. primarily the American Avocet and at least 1,000+ Snow Geese had arrived. It was a terrible day for photography but I made the most out of it. Unfortunately, the Avocets are in their non-breeding plumage. I spent most of my time shooting Snow Geese, in-flight. The photos didn't turn out too bad against a dark background.
