p.1 #1 · Oh, pairs!! Bosque style (9)

This has nothin' to with nannys, just some good old fashioned tracking

Must of had a 20 min endless wave of these suckers, what a rush that was!
I needed a beer and a nap after this workout, BushHawk served me well.
Thanks and y'all come on down and see us...Will

Thanks!

I have a Snow/Blue Goose call and was able to get them to adjust their approach to the pond
sometimes, Martines. Thanks for stoppin' by.

Will, 20 mins of this stuff, dang that would make me dizzy with those things whizzing by. I like how you captured nothing but pairs on this series, very pleasing. They are very nice but #8 is my pick buddy!

Thanky, Karl.

It's nice shooting the smaller birds, those sissy Sandy's seldom squeeze
in the frame w/o severe wing chop on the 2nd when they fly this close.

Wonderful series Will,

as for picks.... OK....

# 1 - I love how their feet hang in sync.

# 8 - I love the tilt.

& I keep going back to # 5 for some reason.

Looks like a great morning Will.
