It is very slow right now, not a lot of action. Been without a camera and lens for far too long. These are the only birds available to me right now. Hope you like.
I know what you mean, last 2 outings provided annihilation, aught, blank, cipher, extinction, fly speck, insignificancy, naught, nihility, nobody, nonbeing, nonentity, not anything, nought, nullity, obliteration, oblivion, shutout, trifle, void, wind, zero, zilch, zip... in other words crap!
Nate, all are excellent.
I can see that you are taking a good advantage of water reflections, and your albino Peregrine exposure is on the money. The Thrasher is a beauty, and its eye is perfection.
Because you are my old friend, and I'd be happy to see you become even more perfect, here are three suggestions :
(1) Drop the exposure on the ducks by 1/3-1/2 stop (or cut back on the highlites alone).
(2) Raise the Pergerine above the frame midline.
(3) Open up the frame of the Thrasher image, the bird feels a bit boxed in now.

Great light on the baldpates. I like that small ripple that you caught that is in front of the bird's chest in that first shot. Cool shot on that curve-billed thrasher. I love hearing their song.
