Fine set Bobby. Well done. In a few it appears that the upright feathers are "wiggling." Maybe a mate attracting ploy? Or am I mistaken.

Thanks Rex! It�s just the wind rustling up their feathers. Most of them move around with their mate. The pairs would stick together other like glue. I have not seen mate - not this time anyway.

really nice light captured in many of these, Bobby. YGMV. How do you like the R5 and the 100-500 combo?

Thanks KD! Love the R5 with the 100-500L lens that weigh only 3 lbs, and it�s extremely sharp! The 45MP allows to do a heavy crop, per Tom�s post:
