    Super images Jody. Have to say that I like #1 (Bafflehead) the best, but all are really well done. clap.gif

    I admire the swallow shots. That's harder than tracking a bee.thumb.gif

    Wow, ridiculous is right. Awesome series. I have a hard enough time capturing them perched.

    I was about to post a couple but after seeing these, I think I need some more time outside..... :)

    Incredible BIFs once again. The detail you capture in these flight images is amazing. I also like the low angle of the last image.

    I want that last one. Adorable? Yes!
    I just want to hug him and squeeze him and love him and name him George.
    #3 has some pretty awesome shoulder pads. #6 is an even better shot.

    Amazing series of images. The first bufflehead, the waxwing BIF, and the swallows are truly jaw droppers. Well done bowdown.gif

    I was probably about 20' from the Bufflehead and about 15' from the RWBB.

    Thanks all! :)

    Oh yeah, I use a Canon 400/5.6 for all of my bird/wildlife images.

    Thanks Jody for the info. Whatever you are doing, it certainly works. I sure would love to spend a day with you out in the field to learn some of your techniques. Thanks again :D:D
