It is very interesting to see similar birds from other places, thanks for showing these. Very well done. Bruce

Good variety Gene, and you made good use of the wide range of focal-lengths with that lens.

I guess you did not need the MC-20 on for the Sanderlings?

Those gritty specular highlights in the Pipit shot can be annoying, but I usually make them disappear with cloning or blurring.

No time for fly-fishing, I bet.
