Red-breasted Nuthatch.
This file was a disaster. Took a lot of PP to get it at least presentable .
Cloned out a lot of clutter in the background and cropped.

Lovely. The softness is very effective considering the subject.

Thank you...although any softness should be attributed to shaky hands rather than anything else

Common Grackle.
He's the peacemaker at my feeders. He feeds in peace next to the other birds and Jay doesn't dare come around when he's feeding so bringing peace to the feeder scene. He may be big and sinister looking but he's no bully. Just as every nation needs an army every feeder needs a Grackle or two.

Taken with a Q-S1 at an ISO 3200 - that's really pushing that little sensor.

With the leaves still on the trees and the birds a lot quieter, fall warblering is harder than spring warblering but I was able to capture this Palm Warbler on the Toronto Island today. Also a Monarch pausing on its way south.

Peace through strength, didn't Ron Reagan have that idea? Some folks may disagree, but in any case, great shot (no one can disagree on that I think)!

Love the P-51 shot. Next to the P-47, it's my all time favorite warbird.
I used to be a big fan of them too until I got to see a Spitfire up close and personal. I am not sure how to describe it, but it looks like you put the plane on and it just does what you want it to do. A work of art. Beautiful plane.

He has the look of saying: "Don't call me 'common.'"

For beauty alone, I agree, although the lines of the Zero are nice, too. Very pure. There is just something about 8 .50's and a 2000hp Pratt & Whitney double wasp that called to me. No beauty, but imho no longer ugly after the intro of the P47D25 and later variants.

The Spit and the Mustang were like sleek quick trout to the Thunderbolts largemouth bass.

All the planes of that era have great appeal to me. I feel they were the last aircraft I could wrap my head around...if called upon I could assist in changing plugs, replacing cockpit instruments, yank a cylinder, change hydraulic fluid.

With jets? They might let me wash a tire under close supervision...
