Thank you @@dlo!

 

@@Game Warden, we all owe you our thanks. This has over time become my favourite of all websites!

 

Love that long crested eagle. I agree with Peter I probably have 5 or 6 sites I visit daily but this and Grantland are probably my favourites. I was actually really saddened when Grantland shut down so I am truly happy to hear that you realize how wonderful a place this is and how much many of us appreciate it and you. Even if I can only make a short visit on my lunch break I always feel like I'm getting to visit with friends when I come here.

 

Sorry for hijacking your thread Peter.

Based on your last photos, that D610 is not as arthritic as you think it is! More excellent bird photos.

[Peter Connan]

@@xelas, wait until you get used to your new D7200 and then we'll talk again!

 

Anyway, the good news is that my camera should be repaired on Wednesday.
