I was fortunate to be able to go down to Tyler, Texas from San Diego, Ca. to look at a project for Johnny Bravo, who is the CFO of a major firm and a fine photographer. These were taken in the few hours between my work schedule at Tyler State Park where I was fortunate to find these guys. Hope you enjoy them and thanks for any C&C you might have. They are all firsts for me.

Stunning shots!! Great action, although I think I like #2 the best, for some reason.

It's a family thing

Hi Chris, Lovely action shots of super fast birdies. My favorite is #8. Congrats.

Jude

Chris, good to see you out at Bolsa Chica yesterday. So THESE are the Tyler, Texas shots you were talking about. Good shooting, particularly those Scissortails. #s 8 and 9 are awesome with 9 being my fave of the lot, but #3 Redhead BIF is really sweet.

Best Wishes,
Steve

Chris, this was an enjoyable post, each click down thru the shots produced a great shot! I must say, that first RHWP is a beauty, as I see it the white tail is too hot but the pose and BG is superb #3 the leap and snatch is killer! Oh my those scissor tails are simply gorgeous, what a great series, and that they are firsts for you is rewarding

Karl

Very nice. 2 and 9 are my picks.

Just plain stunning, Chris! Not much else to say Glad we got a chance to hook up again yesterday, was good seeing you.

Ken

For me it's # 1, 7, 8 & 10

Lil

Hello, Jude. Thank you for your kind words. Been so busy these last few months that it is hard to get on line. Rather be out in the field in my spare time!

Steve Hi, Steve. It was good to see you guys, also. The Scissortails were on that guidewire every morning waiting to be fed, about a block from the jobsite.

KarlThank you, Karl. I think I tried to dummy down that white a bit but not enough. They were tough to expose for sure. Sure enjoyed watching this pair working to feed their youngster.
