Thanks db, I appreciate your comments.

Nice shots

Great series!

Love the light in these.....great work.

Wonderful close shots. They are pretty skittish around here, no way to get that close.

These are fantastic shots, were you in a hide? I have the same experience as Mitch with these guys.

Thanks Duane...it was one of those great days with good light on the bird and a dark BG. It pays to get up early

Thanks Mitch....I didn't think any birds were skittish when around the bird whisperer

Thanks Sigurjon and no I wasn't in a blind but was following then in my little tin boat. After a while they allowed me to get very close. Some of these shots were close to the MFD of the lens which is around 12'.

Great set of images, Scott. Loving the first one especially.

Lovely series! Well captured.
