    several of my favorite birds you share today. But I still have not seen the American Avocet. Feel a bit sad about that. I probably never will see it. Always a joy to see your shots :)

    My favorite is the brown pelicans. You have captured them in flight so wonderfully! All in a row, and with their wings in different positions, and so sharp! It is so hard to photograph birds in flight for me.

    Hello Anni, wonderful variety of birds. Some of my favorite too, I love the Pelican,Black Skimmers and Stilts. The Fulvous Ducks would be a newbie for me. Thanks for hosting. I hope you have a great weekend.

    I love panoramic views of birds! I've been working on banners this week and having fun with them. The Avocets really make a pretty photo! Enjoy your weekend!

    Hi Anni. Yes, my favourite is the line of Brown Pelicans too. It's very hard to photograph a line of birds and get them all in focus. I must practice my panorama pictures; it's something I never do.

    Thanks for the link today. Hope you enjoy your week.

      You've seen a lot more birds than me lately. Just been too stinking hot around here.
