Absolutely awesome! Especially the eagle, never saw one from that angle.

Love that egret shot!

If you don't mind sharing that sort of stuff - what settings did you use for that photo?
(If you prefer not to share, though, no problem)

WOW! My dad has been a birder all his life and I have been dragged along for the ride most of mine. I know how close you can get to theses guys and getting shots like theses don't just 'happen'.
I bow down in awe! :hail:
The last one looks like a great yellowlegs, but its hard to tell the size from the picture.

No problem sharing settings, I should post them anyway....

F7.1
ISO 400
1/1250 shutter speed
exposure bias value -.33 ev
