Lovely set Cliff. Was it cool out so they were not moving quickly or are you very fast?

It was pretty warm out when I shot these, mid 90's. What I noticed was that they would perch on specific reeds, fly off and return to the same spot and then sit there for a little bit. This repeated. It was more of a matter of waiting and getting off a short burst. I got lucky with the one in the air
