A few O's from yesterday ...

I hadn't seen them in my yard for about a week so I was so happy to see they were back! Now if my hb would only return!! I think I scared it away for good with my better beamer!

Excelent shots Denise! I like the third one the best but all of them are great.

Denise,

These are all wonderful! I like the profile and focal point of the beak in the 1st shot. I also like the composition of the 3rd shot and they

Thank you so very much!! I really appreciate all the education I have gotten from you guys to lead me to be able to get shots like these!!

This is the best I've been able to get of these two together so far this spring hopefully I will nail a better one in time ...

I removed a bird in post that was right behind her and am not real thrilled with the results. I thought of removing the grass in front of her but I knew I would only make matters worse!

Any ideas what is?
