Nice set, Neon. If you had with you your big guns, those birds woulda been masterpieces too! :-)

How sharp can the feathers get? Wow!
The immature (photo 3) seems a bit on the yellow side of the WB scale - well done!

Excellent shots Neon, haven't seen the BH Fantail in these parts. Was this the same trip as Twin Lakes?

Thanks Guys!
@ Don, Yes this are still from twin lakes, you have to wait for a mix feeding flock you'll get at least 5 species when they pass.
@ Bobby, had my big gun with me but had difficulty using it, can't position the beast fast when the slope is more than 30 deg and wet from rain. Good that I brought the 300 along which I could easily aim through holes in the tangles of leaves.
@ Enrique, agree it's a bit on the warm side.
