All I can say is WOW!!! I really enjoy pics with a little blurr on the wings. To me it gives the sense of how great these birds can fly. The three pics were wonderful. Thank you for sharing them!!! Great job!!!

Sorry guys. Meant to post the techs on these images but it slipped my mind among other responsibilities. I will be sure to get them posted soon (would right now, but I'm not at home). I will try to have them posted by tonight.
