These guys are tough to catch in flight. Fast movers for sure. Her is what I have gotten so far.
Cinnamon are tough due to the color they usually show up too dark

    The second one could have been so much better but my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw forgot to switch over after taking family pictures. Problem is that far away you have a good crop to bring them out, the ones that are closer to you are so hard to track and keep in focus because of the flight pattern is so erratic and fast. Or the days the usually fly closer to you it is foggy. Trying again tomorrow morning going to hit the sunrise at Sacramento NWR on the way to work.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
