Thanks!  The Fuji strikes again.  Just a little info:  99.5% of my wildlife images are shot through double-pane glass with the Fuji.

Composition wise, I like the second shot better although they are both good.

 As always, wonderful clarity and detail. (sometimes I secretly hate you btw) Joking of course. I don't think these are among the best I've seen of your shots but they are very good. I'm a little distracted by the background. It absolutely amazes me you shoot so many of these through the window. Are you using a polarizing filter?

Thanks, Jim!  I agree in that these aren't some of my best images however with wildlife, ya takes what ya gits :)  She was there, I clicked.  heheheh 

No CPL.  As I've said in a few other threads, the HS-10 is an amazing camera.  It really is!  Not for the novice because it's got a pretty good learning curve to it.  But, once you get to know it.... wow!.  I feel I have the best of best with my cameras.  My ZS3 is certainly no slouch for a compact P&S and my E-620... well, it's just very, very good.  While I really would like to use my E-620 more, it's just too inconvenient for me to be hauling around all the "stuff".  Hence, the HS-10.  The ZS-3 is my pocket camera.
