I find that hard to believe ;

I guess identification means more to me as a birder than it does to a photographer. I thought I'd see a few guesses. I always get more from a photo if I know where it was taken (and not just some code understood only by locals ), what the subject is and perhaps a bit of a story.

To end the suspense, #1 and #5 are Ring-billed, the others, California.

Cheers,

Larry

I guess we be different, if it is free ranging and moving I try for a photo and if I don't know what it is thats OK as long as I got me a keeper.

Nice shots Roger,

The detail on # 3 is fantastic. I also like the wave BG in # 5. Those are some pretty big waves for a lake. I wonder how well the birds fly in the thin air at 7500ft. That's enough altitude to really make a difference on how much energy it takes to fly.

Only a guess but I imagine a lot more energy is needed so they must need more food

Wow!

Sometimes I wonder if we should worry when strange things like this happen....if Global Warming may be part of it.... Considering the heat we've been having (fire or no fire)....

Congratulations on your find Roger
