I was in Napa last week and noticed that every third fence post had a red winged blackbird on them.

Unfortunetly, I didnt have my good camera with me.

Very nice shots - very well lit subjects as well.....

Thanks Joel,

yep those Grebes are something to watch, they have to be the most animated birds on the lake, I love to watch their behaviour, their appetites and ability lo swallow large fish is amazing to watch.

And people wonder why I'm a birder :D

Thanks for the kind comments,

I never liked redwing blackbirds, why?? because they are so friggin difficult to get a good exposure on, Iv'e been trying to get a good shot on these guys in natural light for a year, I'm pleased with these.

Thanks Gale,

I would love to see your shot of the Grebe with a bull frog, that would be a cool capture.
