Nice ones, Jeff. But they are kinda dark on my screen. Can you try to lighten them up just a bit?

They were very dark as the sun was just coming up, you can see the sun under their wings on their bodies. In the raw image they were almost black, used a strong HDR preset in LR

I will see what I can do, I am going into the hospital Monday for major surgery so will be busy tomorrow getting ready, should get to it in a couple weeks.

Wonderful capture here, Shalu. I really like the position of the bird while in flight, and I love the all white background.

Thank you very much for your nice comments, Mike!

Pretty sure this is a Ferrunginous Hawk. Don't see many in these parts.

This osprey shot is really cool Paul. I rarely see a flight shot showing the back. This pose makes for a very attractive image.

Terrific shot, Paul. It looks really cool with the tules in the background.
