Stephen the Brant looks great to me..love the pose and the whites still show detail. Nice Nuthatch and he looks familiar Your Longtail serves to remind me that I missed that bird when it was in the area so I am a little envious on that one...the other two images are nice and sharp with good angles.

Thanks Gary. Yes the nuthatch should be familiar. I was happy to see the longtail but the conditions were atrocious (heavily overcast and the sun was setting ) unlike when Jim photographed that bird that day before. The bird swam right by me when I first arrived but the light was so bad taht I only managed to get a few nice images. I had to really work at the post processing to get even this image to look reasonable.
