My 2023 Images - January

Last year, I concentrated on birding and seeing as many species as I could. This year, 2023, I will concentrate on photography. My primary tools will be Candace II (Canon 7D II) and a Sigma 150-600mm 5-6.3 Contemporary DG OS HSM aka Big Selma, with minor adjustments in Lightroom 5. Every month, I'll post some of my favourite images, as well as any images of rare or interesting birds; feedback and suggestions are welcome. Here are the January ones.
