4 and 5 are my picks Mike. A bit more space in front of the bird in the first might make it more effective.

Morris, thanks for the comments. Yes, the juvenile needs more space in front but Gurrdie and Gus Gull were in the way and they already were in enough of my images. Also, with the dark brown coloration, he/she stuck out like a sore thumb among a sea of white. So, I wanted to give him/her its own stage.

Hey Eric, thanks for the comment. Unlike you Big Cats, the pelies just sort of amble along at the same pace that I do, which is nice. I wish that I could transform some of the images to B&W, like your Cats.

Thanks Birdie, The last is my favorite as well. I keep thinking that I see some breeding coloration in that image. But Carolyn assures me that there isn't any and that if I want to see that coloration, then we need to travel south this winter.

Nice shots, especially the last one. I should have stopped there last week when I drove instead to Tomales point.

Hey Kenny, thanks for the comment the pelies are ok but not nearly as nice as the images that you have of the kingfisher.

Thanks Dennis, I am sure that you had a great time at the point. We went to Drake's Beach on Sept. 25 in the a.m. and ran into ferruginous hawk, which was the first for both of us.

In the afternoon, Carolyn suggested going to Abbott's Lagoon, which was a first for me. Spectacular weather, little wind, very nice light and the birds were flying. A nice hike to the beach area and coming back, northern harriers, red tailed hawks and a white tailed kite were in action. Ran into a guy that saw a bobcat on his way in.

Michael, thanks for the kind words. You are right! It is a wonderful place full of surprises. We were at Drake's Beach a week or so prior to our last outing and there were 300-400 elegant terns passing through on their migration.

But, I see that you have a lot of interesting birds back there as well and you are doing an excellent job of capturing them.

Mike
