Decided to go down to the local lake near town tonight. Here are some of the better shots. I'm having some trouble getting nice crisp, in focus shots with the 20D. hopefully I'll get it straightened out soon.

The reflections are great.

Do you use a single point focus or all points? I find that with birds, a single point works well for me.

No, I was just letting the AF do its thing. I'll try switching it to a single point next time. Thanks for the tip!

Zach's tip is a good one... switch to single point, and focus on the eyes.
