The detail in all of these is incredible! I love the warm color in the pelican shot & the amber reflection on the water.

Beautiful work. The wing position and mastery of the lighting on the Great Egret is pretty special.

I agree with Nick. That egret shot is certainly something special. Looks like their flights are far more pleasant than the humans flying home from their holiday weekend.

  It was mostly good, unfortunately the lazy eagles wouldn’t cooperate with a fly by.
