2016 Spring

This year, birding in Northern Illinois has been tough. We've had some heavy NE Winds off of Lake Michigan and while there has been a few rarities show up, it's been slow going.
Here's a few that I've managed to get so far. Please feel free to offer critique, I appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ken

Stellar series of images.

Ditto that!

They are all great, but the first one is outstanding!

Fantastic set.

Nice work!

A great set Ken.

#1 is killer .

I can't imagine what you would produce if birding had been better! Excellent set!

Tim

Wow,very nice series!

Such an amazing series.
Loved every one of them especially that sexy #2.
What was your bust speed on image #4, to make the composite image?
Extremely well done.

Well done, the kinglet is my favourite.

Nice shots, I'm in Southern Wisconsin, and we're getting amazing fallout from the migration!

Thank you all for the kind words!

Thanks Tim - it has been really slow. Today it actually picked up! Got some new ones after my real estate shoot. Can't wait to get back out there tomorrow.

I cheated on the composite. I figured that it was going to land on the sick so I locked the camera down, focused on the stick. As soon as it came in, I just cranked the shutter. An easy composite!
