One good thing about windy days is you have more time to get flight shots if they are flying into it. :rofl

    Great shots Mark.. The BIF's are excellent !! I like windy days, it brings out the soaring raptors.

    Nice series, but #3 the expression on that duck is priceless :) I'd stay away from her if I were you!

    Really like that first one.thumb.gif

    It's hard to think of the wind being a plus...but in this context it most definitely is.

    These are all quite nice, but the look on the duck's face in #3 is, indeed, priceless!

    Thanks guys,
    Yeah, that duck was a real ham. Instead of flying away she came closer to me and posed.rolleyes1.gif

    #3's eyes/facial expression are wonderful! The flight shots are cool too. Thanks for sharing them.

    The mallard bifs are nice and sharp. I really like the exposure setting that you used on those. The color seems to jump out. The goldeneye is plain neat just because I rarely get to see them. The second goldeneye is my fav with the turn of the head. I wish I could find a good downy to photograph this year. They are cute little woodpeckers.

    Excellent series of captures. clap.gif On the mutiple subject captures I would have stepped down the aperture a tad, f/6.3 is a bit shallow for mutiple subjects.
