    Kind of messes their hair-do when they do that twist! rolleyes1.gif These are just amazing! What shutter speed do you typically use when shooting these speed demons??? They're way to fast for my reflexes. :D

    I love the in flight shots of the Terns, and also the close up of the Egret. Well done. Sounded like a fun day! I have to get down there. Do you park on the back side, or the long walk route? thnx

    Thanks Susan! I usually keep the shutter speed around 1200 or so, and the F stop around F8.
