After I chose a few images of birds in flight for Lisa’s Bird Weekly Challenge I realized they were all flying over water. Then I remembered that Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge: Water in the Details. Thank you both for the inspiration for this post.



You really nailed these photos! Nicely done and very lovely. I’ve never been able to capture birds in flight very well, but you have the technique down pat!!!

Thank you! Most of my attempts at capturing birds in flight are epic fails. These were some of the few that were successes.

Judy, that’s my favorite, too. He was perched on a railing on a fishing dock hoping for a handout. Lucky for me I had my camera ready when he decided to take off.

These birds in flight are fabulous! You had me at the first Pelican pic. LOL! I know I must have made the same face as the GBH in your last shot when I saw it. What a crazy face you captured there. Wow! π

Thanks Lisa! That heron was hanging out on a fishing pier hoping for a free lunch. He must have thought I was taking over his territory!
