Wonderful Capture of the Great Horned Owl, Paul! You really pressed the button at the perfect moment.

Thank you LD. Here's another from the archives. It's one of my favorite flight shots - Long-tailed Ducks off Beavertail Point in Jamestown RI.

What a cool looking shot of the Long-tailed Ducks, Steve! Getting five of them in one frame is pretty amazing! Very nice work. I'm pleased to have you on the POTN forums. Looking forward to seeing a lot more of your work.

Another great shot, Jose! You really held focus so nicely on the kite, inspite of the busy background.

beautiful shot, Mike and lovely setting.

Your kind compliment is greatly appreciated, Neal.

Nice incoming BIF

Thank you RAL. I had to toss so many shots in the garbage, because I was not able to get more than 2 or 3 ducks close enough together to make for an interesting shot. They were always spread out too far. I finally got lucky with this shot.

Yup, the guys are showing their usual subtlety :)

Yup...their mating rituals are anything but subtle.:grin: Thanks for commenting, Pax.

Great shot! Two guys are going to be disappointed.

Thank you kindly sogs. Actually there were more than three drakes in hot pursuit. I just couldn't get them all in the shot.:-)
