Wow! Truly spectacular shots! These birds look "well fed" and ready for migration. :)

I don't suppose you have any "behind the scenes" shots of your multi-flash + camera setup?

Man those are sweet and the feather detail is tight. I really like No. 1 as he shows off his throat. That's one helluva a light set up; got any pics of the set up?

Oh btw sounds like you are a Chevy person

Thanks....the shutter speed is not a factor in stopping the wing motion in these shots; it's the short duration flash burst doing the job......I'm using a setting of 1/64th flash power which is equivalent to somewhere around 1/30,000 sec. shutter speed.......:)
