Folks: it's not OK to take other people's photos to edit and re-post. Just like we don't correct each other's spelling and grammar, we don't take it upon ourselves to decide that someone's photo needs correction. In addition, as has been emphasized before, you need to respect copyright.

Saw some good birds yesterday. Most the usual suspects for this time of year but this young Black Skimmer stole the show. What a cutie!

i edited your TUVU photo.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to edit @Aidan B's EXCELLENT photo, but your edit shows signs of being overly edited. Your edit has a halo effect around the bird which is particularly noticeable down the bird's neck and back when viewed full screen. Your edit lacks the sharpness of Aidan's original, most notably the head doesn't have the same shimmering effect as the original. While your edit is a good attempt, I think you'd be better off practicing your editing skills on photos that actually need improving, and not other people's EXCELLENT photos. Sorry, @IKLland, but I like the original better than your edit and thought you might want to know why.

Locally uncommon/rare Brewer's Sparrow. I kind of like how the fennel gave the image some soft tones.

Just reminded me, in Sibley Great Egrets are supposed to stalk slowly while foraging, but I've seen them crouch here.

I want to personally thank both of these Muscovy Ducks for helping control the local mosquito population. I almost never get bitten.

This morning I finally (and unexpectedly) got some decent images of some hummers when visiting a new location. Still lots to improve though...
