      It's difficult to time just right to actually GET the bird in the viewfinder and snap the shutter button...before it flies too far out of range. Thanks Gunilla

    Nice selection of birds in flight Anni.

    BTW the Blue-winged Teal looks more like a Pintail to me.

    Great shots of birds on the wing! Sorry I have not been around much. No new photos of birds. Been busy rehabbing a knee replacement and preparing to leave Mar. 22 for a 28 day trip to Europe. Will try to catch up when I return home in April. Best wishes for more great birds. Hugs, Janice.

    Apologies for being so late to comment and to thank you for hosting. Your flight shots are stupendous...I am envious. Heck, I'm envious of your birds, perched or in the air , you know how I loved the Corpus/Port A area.

    These are all wonderful shots- I can't pick a favorite, although I do like the caracara, the oystercatcher and of course the blue heron. You see should a super variety of birds.
