Okay here we go ...... I'll post some of mine most of which were taken within the last week. A few may have been posted on the Daily Pics thread. I used spot metering, aperture priority f8 and an ISO of 400. With that combination, my shutter speed on a Common Grackle is generally too slow to capture a decent action shot.

Their piercing eyes really get to me when they are staring directly at the camera. This one is munching on a piece of bread.
