This juvenile cooper's spent the day in my yard today. No photoshop, after a hard drive failure last week.

Finally, a picture of a Yellow-billed Cuckoo that isn't awful:

By far the best ever Storm-Petrel shots I've ever gotten!!! As anyone who has done pelagic photography knows, Storm-Petrels are the hardest species out there to photograph well! Super stoked to have gotten such good shots!

Bad photo, but it was just a long-distance ID shot, and it qualifies:

Is there a problem if I upload the photos I've edited today? I'm backlogged on photo editing.

I don’t think so. Tons of people post old photos here, which isn’t exactly what we want but since it’s done often I guess you can

That's what I do. I do try to keep them somewhat recent, but I'm usually backlogged by a few weeks.

Same here; for me it is not possible to go birding, make a selection, and edit those pictures on a regular day. We just got back from vacation and need to sort through, select, and edit a bit over 5000 photos. So here are the first that are done. I wish I could have gone lower with the green heron, but with several alligators nearby, I thought that was not a good idea 😅

They were "just" at the Cypress Gardens, we only went for a boat ride and then we walked around the pond where I took these pictures. Any particular reason you are asking? 🙂

Today a white-breasted nuthatch from the trip; love the lichen on the tree branch

Nope, just casual interest.  Cypress is about 90 minutes away and we visit every few years.  The swamp garden is a great place to see breeding wading birds in the spring.
