So many nice images in this thread. Here are some urban ravens in Anchorage that let me get quite close. All with 300PF on D500.

Somehow I missed these first time around Øivind
I really like them
I've been getting more and more fond of Corvids and saw several Ravens whilst I was visiting Wales

Thanks Colin, they are very smart and extremely tough birds. I have seen them flying and perching for short periods in stormy weather at the North Slope in Alaska at wind chills that were probably at minus 60°C.

Just curious...could you please provide exposure details and identify the equipment (lens/camera) used to capture the photos of the humming bird and sparrows.

Good photos...Thanks, Robert

From my point of view, he is acting like a humming bird, he is a humming bird with a camera. So he can create photos  like this. There is no other way, i think. ... bye bye,richard

Thanks Colin, I love Woodpeckers. There are six species that I have in my yard and they pretty much have their way with the other birds (except of course the raptors).

This male Wood Duck was ardently flapping its wings while staying stationary and erect in the water. Another male was behaving the same way so it may have been a display for the sake of the females in their midst. There was a group of about ten of them and I think they were migrating. Maybe this pond is their destination.
