That's a perfect example of why it's always best to lead.

This is where the 2 in-flight Pelicans were heading, for the coveted 2 roosting spots already occupied.

The top guy landed on the left side, the bottom guy missed their footing and almost caught their neck in the V-Join, falling ignominiously to the ground before flying off with a somewhat sheepish look.

Great action shot.

Well that counters my other comment where I was amazed at the way these large birds land in difficult situations. Not always the case

Continue from the previous post. The juvenile kite realized its mistake and immediately tried a second time at food exchange. This time it positioned itself correctly below the parent and got its food!

Nice and sharp. I find Killdeer to be one of the more challenging birds for BIF shots for me, got fewer keepers than others.

Wonderful shot...amazingly sharp. Were you using a 2xTC for that one?

Thank you very much Shalu. They certainly are challenging BIF's. If I come upon their nest, one of them will usually do the broken wing act, while the other will often times make nice flight circles around me. I make it a point not to stay for more than just a few minutes at their nest sites. I want to allow them to return to the eggs as soon as possible.
