Excellent, Roberta.
You are really plowing ahead and upwards, and on a daily basis coming up with better and more challenging shots.
The egret and grebe are shot with your usual fine eye for composition and exposure.
The TIFs are also remarkable because they are exposed well, sufficiently sharp and done against a non-sky background.
The only minor suggestion I have is to move the 1st tern a bit away from the left side of the frame...that's really not about the rule of thirds, it's about what feels right to you. You may also wish to tighten the frame around the bird vertically.
I guess you might show us some swallows in flight tomorrow ?
I'm a sucker for PBGs Birdie and this is a cute on! I was really happy with the Egret until I saw the Grebe Nice work on the Terns, and yes they sure can be challenging. But isn't that why we do it
1 and 3 for me, with the Grebe being right up there..
You are doing some really fine work and it's getting better all the time, I'm really glad that you are challenging yourself and putting things out there for people to see..you are growing by leaps and bounds

Yep, Roberta- terns are fast (and jerky). I once saw an arctic tern in Alaska catch a dragon fly in the air. But mostly they are fishermen- really good fishermen.

Oops- forgot to say that I like these images, especially the first tern shot.
Birdie, You are going gangbusters on the birds now. My only suggestion is that the first two aren't as sharp as they could be. It looks like there a bit of motion blur in the first one. Check the falling water droplets. What shutter speed did you use?
Nice work on the Terns, and yes they sure can be challenging. But isn't that why we do it
