Was a nice sunny morning here in NW Louisiana and fortunate to find a little variety.
All ISO 800, MKIIN, 400 w/1.4X tc, saved for web 50% quality so the file sizes are quite small
#1 Look back fro a little Pectoral Sandpiper

#2 It's "Ibis In The Morning" again!!

#3 Little heron flyby

#4 Pectoral again...just a cute on the move little bird.

Beauties Dave. Is it must me or am I seeing just a little better dynamic range in your images? Love the piper shots and Mr. Ibis and cute take on the good morning BCNH.

Thank you sir.......I have been trying to find the missing links in pp and guess it's showing.
Thanks for noticing Ken
Dave, these are great! I am liking your new equipment, and I'll bet you are too!
#4 is pretty darn cool, and I like the Ibis--something we don't have here in the PNW
These are all very special. I enjoyed each one. I'd be glad to take even one as nice. How do you get so close? The pectoral sandpiper is super - great poses and color. I saw one of these for the first time this week, and with my 500 and extender I wasn't this close.
Love the light on #2 - ibis. No. 3 is really sharp -- wow! Thanks for sharing all of these.
This is a very fine set of images, Dave. I like them all, particularly the last one.
I'm also sure that the Juvie Yellow Crown is actually saying: "Dave, I caught a fish this big this morning" Thanks for sharing,
Socrate
Dave, I just bought a new monitor and a lot of these shots look overexposed. I would sincerely appreciate knowing if I need to calibrate. I've never before seen anything overexposed from your shots, so I'm a bit concerned about what I'm seeing. All fabulous shots, but I need some help with exposure because of my new monitor.

Thanks so much Bonnie. I tried sending an ibis up that way to Maggie, but it escaped and flew back

Thanks a bunch Cris. I usually shoot from my van window and it works quite well...doesn't scare the birds. Today I was on my belly for a while, but not real great subjects.
And I crop in pp.....do what I have to

Thank you so much Susan.....you are one of my inspirations you know!!
Norm, #3 and #7 have pretty good detail in the whites on my monitor.
Look at this, can you see 251 and 253 off white/gray distinctly?
