I love the 1st image because of the flying sand and fluttering neck feathers gives it a sense of speed that is largely absent from my bird photography.

Thank you, Dolina. I don't capture shots like that often, most of my shots are of birds standing around, also, so it's a real treat when I do capture a bird like that.

Exactly! That is also my experience as well.

I want some drama & a story with the birds I take. Not just hard stiff birdies.

A slaty egret (or so my search tells me) standing on what's left of an old weir and an osprey in search of food over the shoreline.

Yeah, sure, and next time it will be two keys.:-P

Outstanding captures on both these birds, Kirk! Once again, getting that low camera angle makes for such nice captures. The bird in question looks to me like a female black bellied plover, just as you thought.

The slaty egret is a first for me, Kirk. It appears (from my search) as though you are correct on the name of this bird (slaty egret). On your osprey shot, I really like how you managed to just barely get the one eye peeking thru the wing primaries. Very cool looking shot!

Mike this is so beautiful
The light, colours and overall composition pool together to make a very pleasing image.

Your very kind compliment is truly appreciated, Richard. Thank you very much.

What a beauty, Steve...so typical of your outstanding shooting style. Ya gotta love this Connecticut Warbler's attractive pose!

I took a walk in the local Game Lands and as soon as I parked the car, one of these was walking by the roadway.
I know it's not a Wood Duck, but it will have to do. I checked the pond but there was no action.

Beautiful ring-necked pheasant shots, Lycomech! My favorite is the second shot.

Stunning Barn Owl capture, Vassilis! Tack sharp!

Vassilis this is so nice.
You've certainly captured the beauty of it in excellent light and I imagine for the owl a very natural setting.

Thank you ! It's my favorite owl
