Jul 07, 2010 02:15 | #1 I really have never shot birds before, but I recently got a chance to visit a bird sanctuary for some 125,000 sea birds that migrate to Wilkes Island (Wake Island) every year to nest. While I was walking the shore line I was escorted by some 100 or so birds flying just above my head. I had a blast. Can someone help me with the types of birds I have shots of?
