A few from yesterday

While they are all fine images #2 stands above the rest.

Handheld ? Is there any other way !

Thanks all - you're very generous.

Great job with all. As for composition the third one trips my trigger. The wet tracks leading to a perfectly photograph bird rocks. I would clone out the bird poop but that’s me.

Thanks for the kind words, Zip.

Actually I had meant to post a "cloned-out poop" version, so I've replaced the earlier shot - thanks for the reminder.

they are beautiful, but the last 2 get my vote!!

Thank you, Tina.

Keith, those are very nice shots. The wet prints are a nice touch...but too bad the far bird didn't turn its head more. BTW I prefer environmental/habitat bird shots!

Excellent shots! Everything works here. Love the environment, the wet footprints(!) and the flight shot is beautiful.
