A few bird impressionists.

Darth Vader of the bird world
(Red footed falcon)



This ones cold
(Chilean blue, get it? they don't get any better BTW )



The religious bird
(Let) Osprey (See I told you)



The Death star,
I mean Stare



Who remembers Clarence the cross eyed lion?
I think this must be a relative.



This looks like its auditioning for the Muppet show



He looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth,
well that is until something "falls off its perch"

Oooh that first one really looks evil for a littl'un, wouldn't want to upset it
Only ever seen a Juvenile Chilean Blue, stunning birds,
You did well there for a canon user

 

[Cobra]

Cheers Ingrid

Those Chilean blues certainly are stunning in adult plumage,
Its a shame it was (as they mostly were) l in "weatherings" and the sun wasn't on the feathers.

Very nice and the blue stands out for me
I can't remember if I posted my in flight shot of the one at the Raptor Foundation, but it's a gorgeous species.

Just checked; I posted one and looking at the others I remember why that was all I didn't really do it justice as it was such an acrobatic performer.

Great captions again and like all of them but the first one's got an amazing intense stare

Thanks Barney its appriciated

captive!

Bill, they are posted in "zoo" and by definition, they are captive, no one is denying that, but thanks for pointing out
in case some one missed it
(Although they do fly free on occasions).

As for art, no one said they were art, they were posted for amusement, with quips as per
all my animal shots.

Hissy -

I know they were taken as captive subjects, etc., - you should be so lucky if they were not
