This is great, Dan! The clipped toes are my only nit. :)

Very cool! A Shining Honeycreeper. This is very impressive. How'd you manage to get so close. These guys always were so active when I saw them in Costa Rica.

Do you mean Butterfly World? It's near my office and I've never gone there....now I have a reason. Beautiful bird.

Do they have hummingbirds there as well?

Hummingbirds too. Butterflys, duh, and some nice passion flowers. No tripods or monopods, though.

:shock: Wow, knocked me out of the seat. That is a gorgeous shade of blue and those white legs are wild. Awesome shot.
