All very nice! I only have one of these (kestrel) checked off on my list.

thanks farmer, the shrike and sandpiper were new to me as well and a few of the others i had only seen once or twice before.  some days you just get lucky.

I should probably be finishing my Christmas Shopping, but it can't hurt to take the camera out and go looking for birds.  I heard there is a Western Tanager in Oshawa not far from where I live, but I will probably end up down at Lynde Shores sometime today.  Great pictures.

Cool shot, and if the owl didn't want his picture taken he could just eat the photographer!!
