Yesterday at a local natural preserve.
1. The guardian at the entrance
2. Unfortunately, not a lot of birds other than Red-Winged Blackbirds that seem to be everywhere these days. At 1/160 s. on the 500 mm, too soft for cropping him tight - I prefer to keep more of the gorgeous background color.
3. Lonely Swan cruising slowly; his/her mate was at the other end of the water. Last week they were building a nest (or so it seemed to me).
4. Partial view of the setting (well, I am sure there is a bird somewhere in the middle of the pic).
