Comment by Barry Miller on March 8, 2013 at 6:25pm: Thanks Steph,
Hello everyone
I'm new to birding, but had intrest in trying to photograph birds for several years.
These are some great pictures everyone has posted here.

Comment by Steph S. on March 8, 2013 at 5:01pm: Barry welcome to the group!

Comment by Steph S. on March 8, 2013 at 11:14am: Thank you Tony and Dominic - I really love the pictures you posted. Lovely.

Comment by Dominic Florio on March 6, 2013 at 9:20am: The Golden Pheasant is fairly common in captivity and I hope to get a pair this year.

Comment by Joan Denoo on March 6, 2013 at 1:05am: Tony, thanks so much. These are lovely. I wonder how the person/bird was able to be so agile? Oh! to live in a place that has so many varieties.
