Oh well. I guess I can still appreciate a cool picture when I see one. Nice job!

Those pics are great! I really like the one in flight the best. A person has to take quite a few pics to get some like you have here. Way to go!

Thanks Joe. I find that bracketing is the way to go for birds most of the time (6 burst), the only issue with that is I have to sift through over 1,000 photo's every weekend :) to get a couple dozen keepers. I'm waiting for more blue sky like everyone else, the back lighting in most photo's right now isn't as good as it could be. May-August should be pretty fun, we have some bird trips planned over east and out to the coast.
