These were taken at different sites at different times on Sunday. The Willet was about 15 feet away and the Brown Pelicans were 100 and 150 feet out respectively.(cropped and enlarged).

Thanks Gary, Trevor and Gary. The Willet is my best of the species so far. I've always wanted a flight shot that showed off their wing pattern.

They are all great shots Steve but I have to go with Canonloader and give # 1 the edge,
the reflection is perfect.
