Shots like this are why I get up at 4 in the morning to go to a damn cold lake.

Awesome shots, Buddy. Were these taken at Conowingo? I have been to Conowingo many times in the past 2 years, but the birds just would not cooperate with me. They'd rather hang around on the far side instead :-(

Congrats on the well executed captures.

Yes, these are at Conowingo. Like you, I've had bad days (today was bad) and good days. These shots were a few weeks back.

This is much less dramatic, but still love the background when birds fly against the distant forest at Conowingo.

Great captures. I agree about the background in the third - sets the bird off nicely.
