    Great set. I really like the light in the Lesser Yellowlegs shot and the perch with the White Throated Sparrow. I also like the oriole shots too. Those really stand out to me.

    5 and 9 are my favorites, but they are all great and sharp. Was a flash used in some of the pics? and what was the range of the lens?

    I'm having a real difficult time picking a single photo for a favorite! They are all so cool! I love the dove in flight and the perched RWBB, but they all are so nice. Excellent Job thumb.gif
