Howdy everyone - apologies for being a day late. We have lost internet in our office and so I was totally disconnected yesterday! Still scrambling with other devices today to get me through but hopefully all should be sorted today.
Anyway, back to the theme. This week - pick your favourite colour and post a photo of a bird that best encapsulates that. Try to think of your colour and work back :)
I love "black&white". Many years ago, when the kids were little, we even had black carpet in the whole house.

get out of here, I'm not black&white, just beautiful

Green is a nice colour,even though it's not on a native bird:
And even better when it IS on a native bird:
Blue! love the colour on the blue-feced honeyeater
I really like red and green, the Christmas colours
I hope you don't mind all the photos
It wasn't me, I didn't do it. There was a head on top of the Magpie Lark. (black&white my fav colours)

this is still my favourite photo of a Black-shouldered Kite. (sort of black&white)

Blue is my favorite color and it just so happens that this Stellar Jay fits right in!
Same bird, different day.... BLUE!
Missed on the focus, a bit... darn bird moves sooo blazingly fast! Better luck, next time.

Can't go past an Australian Magpie. (black&white)

and the "all black" little Raven
Now, aren't those black feathers nice and shiny? (I love taking photos of black birds)

M-K,
Your photographs are sooo sharp and pretty. What in the world is your "secret" to getting such great results?
I am planning on getting a Canon 40d... coupled with my 100-400 L, I am hoping to get better images.
You are awesome,
Phil
