    Great set. I liked the pintail and the wings of the cormorant waiting to take off.

    You dont usually see a pintail having a bad hair day. I really like the Avocet shot. All great captures. I have almost
    that same bufflehead shot but a golden eye

    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!"

    Maybe its from the years I lived in Oregon, but I've always liked the lighting from bright overcast. Nice photos, Glenn.
