Good stuff, Tom. There's some awfully tough shots in there. I'd be proud to have similar in my portfolio. Hope to cross paths in the field some day.
Jeff

Super set, Tom and big congrats on the 15K !!!
It's always good to see one of your posts. Keep them coming and go at least for the 30K.
Chris
Thanks for the nod on the set Chris, I do appreciate it
I can honestly say Tom that it has been truly a pleasure to view your stunning work but even more so to shoot by your side. I'll never forget waaaaaaaaaaaaay back on our first shoot together when you had the brand spanking new 50D! I guess that exposes our age Super congrats Tom on the landmark. I continue to learn from you and really enjoy the push I get from you......as well as giving it back What a splendid set to mark the occasion. These all rock and are in a class by themselves
Kid Oh how I wish
Goes without saying my friend, you are a huge part of what makes this so much fun and the pleasure has been all mine sharing the field with you and enjoying the adventure and challenge. Hey that 50D was rockin back in the day with that crazy sensor

Memory lane for you, Tom, but my first time seeing them, since I've only been here for a short while. Stunning shots. The BIF Bittern for uniqueness, Killdeer- wow, Tree Swallows double wow. If I keep going I'll end up naming every shot here. Happy 15,000, Very well done.

Too many to pick for sure, but when I started, I came up with the woody, the bitty, the killdeer, the KF and then #12-15. TFS Tom and a big congrats with a superb post.

Wow, wow, wow, these are A+ Amazing, Tom!
I've seen a few of these images before but this collection is absolutely spectacular; you seem to have a sixth sense when it comes to capturing impossible IF shots (Killdeer, Stellar's Jay, Bittern, Yellow-rumped, and man, those swallows are sweet).
I often think about your images as exemplars for what I would like to try and capture, so even if DeMille never writes another novel, I'll anxiously await your next 15K!
Greg
Humble thanks to you Greg, I do love to get them on the wing and your kind compliments are sincerely appreciated
Oh how I wish
