I like the last 'chicken dance'

Nice numbering job buddy Hey did Troy tell you how nice it was having you along

First shot is quite pretty Al, I like it! Looks like you made it into the 'nose holer' club too I really like #9, great triple overhead wing spread. Good shooting Al glad you made it to J-P!

Super coverage of the JP experience. I like the PJ style of this series. Wow, that's a lot of people on the viewing deck! Hope you didn't whack anyone in the head with your big white lens, - Very nice handling of the exposures on the Sandies. I like the whole series.

Hi Al,

Enjoyed these a lot. I always appreciate a shot like #2 to get a feeling of the overall area.

#9 - the triangular flight shot - wow, would've been neat to get the head of the 3rd bird too, but still really cool.

#11 neat - looks like they're parachuting in!

"Time to feed" and all flight shots - very nice. You're getting me even more in the mood for upcoming visit to Bosque.

When is the prime time for JP? I should mark it on my calendar for next year. Thanks and good job on these!

The viewing area looks like the real attraction, Al

Super flight shots and loved the parachuters in the last couple.

I think mid November is best, but in chatting with some of the locals, they said the Sandhills seem to be running late this year, possibly due to the warmer than usual weather. That's all I know....

Cool shots -- it looks like you did manage to find a place to stand even with the crowds. The last shot is special -- looks like a sequence but no, it's just agreement about what to do.
