    Very nice! Pintails are my absolute favorite. I find that they spook a whole lot easier than most so are a bit harder to photograph but you got them nice and sharp in that group. Great job.

    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!"
