Hi mpeeps.
My thoughts, just one, stunning!

Cheers Graham.

Hello,
This is my first post here, but I do love this site. Great information and above all, encouragement. I play tennis weekly at a buddy's 50 acre avocado ranch in Cayucos, California. There is a large Gummy tree which is home to Red-tailed hawks and Kingbirds. The Kingbirds seem to harrass the flying adults constantly, but leave the fledglings alone. These shots were taken with a Canon 6D and EF 100-400mmL lens.
Thanks for sharing any thoughts with me.
Mike P

I wasn't set up for this shot - I was photographing rowing with the Tammy 150-600 on 5DIII at iso1250 when an arctic tern suddenly appeared and dived. I got him at the supposed softish corners and didn't have time to increase the exposure, which I had to do pp. 100% crop.

A gull in flight, seemingly peeking from behind its wing. Lucky timing on this one.

Pelican flying over raging water pouring over the weir on the South Saskatchewan River at Saskatoon. The river's running quite high at the moment.

Awesome picture - I really like the angle the bird is flying toward you, and the color is great.
