DDolan – thanks!

Larry – I used Advanced GIF Animator, bought it for $35, here’s the link: http://www.gif-animator.com/. Worth every penny!

Delson – yes, rapid-fire pics looped into a GIF. When I get a series of photos that exhibit cool behavior or motion, I usually make a GIF. Plus, it’s fun

Hey Amber, super shots of Myrtle! The male is striking as is the male Audubon’s Warbler I saw today. I must say howeer that your capture of the female is just as beautiful in its subtlety. The warm brown, tan, ivory and gold colors are simply gorgeous.

BTW, how did you do the cool still animation. What a great way to show a series of shots in one small space.

This is one of my favorite birds. I first saw them last fall in Colorado. After that I started noticing them at home near Houston. The color wasn’t there until recently. Those males with the striking plumage are outrageos. Thanks for the pictures, very nice.

Glad you like the post, Karen. Myrtle had many friends in the forest that day, and they were a joy to watch.
