As Julian has guilted me, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank all members for their contributions this past year, and wish all the best of holidays and healthy 2026.
This is one of the most active groups on fstoppers, made so by the continued engagement of such avid photographers as yourself.
Thanks to all who participate and make this group such a welcoming and safe zone to post.
May the light be with you in 2026!
We were hiking in the rainforest of Southeast Alaska. Eagles were EVERYWHERE, though at a long distance, along this creek looking for salmon.
This little bird is a hybrid of a Peregrine Falcon, the fastest bird and the fastest animal in all of creation, and a Gyrfalcon.
I took this shot at The Raptor Foundation where do much work in rescuing all types of Raptors. Many are returned to the wild though many are not native to Britain, they cannot be released.

In this part of the US we don't have the Northern Cardinals. I did see a few that last time were were in Arizona, but with the winds and temperatures, they didn't come out until dusk...making it difficult to photograph in low lighting.
Lovely capture Mr. Brown and thank you for your sentiments.
Ha, this one was taken right outside our window. They stick around for the winter, and visit the feeder daily throughout the year.
I have to say, they always bring a smile to my face!
Thanks. Happy holidays to you and everyone. Nice shot.
Thank you Alan. Blessed Holidays/2026 to all.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone.
