Nice shorts Rick! I like the first one the best, great pose, sharpness composition and background. I also like the last one, a quality bird with lots of details in flight. the third one could be a killer if that branch doesn

Hey Joel, you posted some birds I actually recognise from the UK for a change.
I've not posted in this thread for a while, mostly because we've had a bad winter over here and I haven't seen many interesting birds lately. However, I still have some shots from my polar adventures that I haven't shared yet, so here are some birds of the Southern Ocean:
Antarctic Petrel, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/7.1, 1/500s, ISO 100
Light Mantled Sooty Albatross, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/8, 1/500s, ISO 100
Kelp Gull, 5D Mark II, EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM @ 400mm, f/8, 1/1600s, ISO 100
The first two were taken from the moving deck of a ship during a typically rough crossing of the Drake Passage.
Drake Passage, EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM @ 28mm, f/8, 1/80s, ISO 100

Nice pics Andy, the first two appear as though they are going to fly out of my monitor.
