Thank you!
Thanks, I am loving your Killdeer images....I saw some here recently along a gravel road and you have inspired me to go out and get some images of them.Quote:

Here are a few others from today, I think I slightly over-processed them in an attempt to save them ...

There definitely wasn't too many birds out there, I should have waited a few weeks for my spring trip!
You came away with some very nice keepers....did you rent a lens for the trip?Quote:

PS I went out at sunset tonight and found some Killdeer....have to process them and then I will post.
