Really nice shots Ken. I like #2 the best. The lighting is fantastic with all the color. Good job on all of them.

all awesome and a pleasure to view Ken.

Please give #2 a bit of ccw rotation, that image is sooooooo beautiful


Dave -
I did think of that (Slight rotation) at the time of processing but ...........
The foreground ripples suggested a need for rotation but, the stonger ripples and lines in the background are in alignment with grid lines. Having them go way out of alignment would seemingly make things feel even more askew.

Nice images but #1 and then the stellar #2 steal the show! Pretty shot of the BCNH with nesting material. #9, great shot

Thanks. I enjoyed the time at the pond waiting and trying to get my Avocet attempts. I also was happy to get Ibis opportunities in decent light instead of trying to shoot them when I didn't have enough light (I don't own a D3 ) which is the usual scenario.

Excellent Ken! Definitely a great series, and #2 is incredible!


Chris -
Thanks. When I was looking at the scene, I knew that I would ideally liked to have positioned the Avocet in another part of the frame, but I just couldn't pass up the reflected colors.

Thank you. The Avocets certainly have their following.

Great stuff Ken. I've never seen an ibis with a whiter face before--great images.


John -
The breeding color has really come in on those Ibis. Unlike the ones at SJWS, these like to come in when there is still sunlight, and there are more of them with the white face that gives them their name.

Super work, Ken, and glad to see you're back out in the field. Where did you see the White-Face Ibis? You got some great looks at their iridescence. And #2 is a shimmering morning shot --- SJWS? Hope to see you "out there" soon...

Best Wishes,
Steve


Steve -
The Ibis shots were taken at Carr Park in Huntington Beach. The Avocet shots were taken at SJWS as you suspected, but in the evening.
Hope to see you out in the field again soon.

Hi Ken -- nice shots.
I like DOF in #1 & #2; detail in #3; good catch in #5
Overall, I like your cropping too.


ausmr -
Thanks. I was hoping that I didn't get too rusty from my 3 months of not shooting. I need to get out there more and get back in the grove.

I guess the action at the Baylands must be really good about now. Or are you on another one of your exotic treks?

Great series Kenneth,

would love to know where you found the White Faced Ibis. A friend found one in Redondo Beach I think...... I'd drive just to see one.....

Congratulations

These were from Carr Park in Huntington Beach. I was there this past Subday and Monday, but they didn't make their usual appearance. There was a half-hearted late evening fly-by on Monday, but the lighting was kind of low by then. Things sure changed from earlier weeks.
Good luck if you decide to give it a try over there.

Thanks for the information Ken. One more place for me to check out. A bit of a drive, but I may just make it to try for this beautiful bird.

Thanks - - kind of you to share,

Thanks. It's cute, how they like to "cuddle" afterwards, isn't it?
