Wow a wide angle for hummingbirds. The camera must have been right on top of them. I'd love to hear more about the setup.

You were the only one to come up with something for the song that to me says John Lennon. Great job! 10

Very nice photo but it's not a baby. That's an adult Saw-whet Owl.

Peregrine Mother and Son

Looks like father and son to me. Great shot 8! Females are lager than males in raptors.

Great shot but I think the bright background detracts from an otherwise fantastic shot. Love the sharp eye and colors on the face.

Survival

Great idea! I think the signicance of the Peregrine will be missed by most. Stating something like Survival (recovery of the Peregrine) would have helped. As far as the photo your focus point appears to be the edge of the wing closest to the camera when it should have been on the eye. Next time try setting your camera to a single focus point and putting it on the eye or manually focus on the eye. The unlevel perch and food are a bit distracting but it helps that they are out of focus. I think a tighter crop would have been a bit better.

Good idea but my eye is drawn away by the only light area in the photo the distant hill.

It think the ring flash reflection in the eyes hurts an otherwise excellent shot. To me it just looks unnatural.
