Awesome catches Bob !! A variety of birds and also a variety of fish life.
Like Judy says, you couldn't have times it better in the third shot. Nice job.

Great shots, but that Pelican shot is a wallhanger for sure.

Nice series. I actually like #1 & #2 the best.

Me too I think... but the first 3 are all really terrific. Excellent shots.
The Glossy Ibis shot is soft, and tho it captures the appropriate moment nicely for this feeding series, I must wonder if you didn't get some nice sharp ones of him too. ?

Very nice set Bob,
