    I can't imagine your patience in waiting for this shot. Truly excellent. I love the one of him flying off as well!

    Cool, John, cool! Great that it is in a series, too. I got some smaller birds, a Little Blue Heron, for one, last night (and I think it was just about night), so the bird is blurred for the most part. I did get one that is not OOF.........but the tragedy, I can't tell what the prey is with all the gunk and stuff where the birds were obviously successfully fishing.

    That is a really good series!

    Great series John. You have to be extremely patient and very, very lucky to capture a series like that.

    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!"
