Great stuff Dan! My favs are the woodies and the cattails.

Great series, Dan. I love the Woody shot. It's not too often you get to see a photo of a pair of them in flight, if ever.

Thanks all! X I had at least 20 pair of woodducks around me, I only shot two in-flight shots, this was one. I also had a number in the water but just didn't care for the light. I was really trying to get some nice shots of the roughly 400-500 bluebills in with these guys but again not happy with the light. The cattail shot was underexposed by a stop and a bit of change and just a pop of fill flash for the cattail.

I like the blackbird doing the splits, to me that is a humorous pose!

Nice series, Dan! I like 'em all, and although I don't usually pick out sunrise/sunset shots, I really like this one!

Thank you everyone for the comments. It was an enjoyable evening of shooting, both weather and subjects.

Look at you getting out with nature!

I like that fifth one the best... maybe a wee bit centered but still a nice image.

Thanks Mike, I do have some extra free time on my hands.
