Thanks Mitch, Anke, Sindri and Reyno for your comments. I also like behavior shots but more often have to settle for a profile or a "flying away" shot. So I appreciated the chance to photograph the bird actually going about it's "business". Glad you guys liked the shots and thanks for taking the time to say so.
