Thanks, Josh--
This is interesting. I will pay more attention to the eyes on these birds and take some images of all their eyes.
I have not personally seen one that does not have the globular extensions--but I will pay more attention now!
Thanks!

Bonnie, these are really great captures! Thanks for shariing. I really love them all - but I especially like the Merganser in flight - it seems to be looking right at you and I dig dramatic placement right at the water. I also love the 3 sets of red/yellow eyes on the OC's in flight.

Wow Bonnie... these are all just plain awesome.

#1 is perfect... great light allowing you to capture all that beautiful rich color and detail, terrific low angle and comp.

#2 IF has wonderful DOF to isolate the center bird just enough and still keep the outer birds with good clarity. Very well done.

#4 CM IF is soooooo good and soooooo cool... I LOVE this shot just as you have presented it, wouldn't change a thing. Fantastic work!

Beautiful series Bonnie, very well done.

Super pics Bonnie. What a distinctive eye this bird has.
I like # 2 a lot. It reminded me of trying to take a pic of a zebra in a herd of zebras for some reason!

Great Black Oystercatchers series, Bonnie. Well exposed and with very nice detail. The last one is not bad either.

I love the Oystercatcher shots! I've never found them to be "relaxed" here in Florida - they don't let me get too close
