Hope you are all doing well. Spring a very busy time of the year in this neck of the woods. Was allowed a little free time. Here are a couple of pics from this spring. Smile

Nice pictures

I looked at these initially with my iPhone...didn't see the true quality of your pics mate...they are outstanding...you have captured the birds beautifully, showing their colours magnificently.

Dare I say it, but you have caught a "Mona Lisa" type pic with the Canada Geese...they are both looking at you from the corner of their eye.

In my business I deal with many photographers and a lot of them are professional wildlife photographers.
I must say that your work is definitely up in par with the best there is.
Good job Moose.

Oh and yeah, one more thing.
One of the clay shooter told me that if you want to be good at clay shooting, it pays to learn to pan with a camera.
Maybe I ought to learn that too.

Thanks all for your nice comments. They are appreciated. Birds in flight are definitely a challenge, but a fun one. And yes Vince, a roast on the wing. Wish I had more of them in the freezer. Sadly the ones in my freezer have all been roasted and eaten. Very Happy
