Alan, this is a great series of pictures! Were a lot of these taken from the air?

Thanks. I had a great time and spent the entire day there.

Thanks Jeff. I wish but these were all taken from the ground. These guys do a lot of turns, tilted flying and other maneuvers that allow you to get these shots that look like you are in the air with them. I like to say it was years of practice going to air shows but the truth is it is 10% skill and 90% luck. These guys are much easier to photograph than jets as they crawl across the sky. If the weather holds in two weeks I am going to another one where they will be bombing with pumpkins.

For those who might be interested check out the pictures he took on my daughters blog.
Crafting Play: Raising a ShutterbugLooks like I might want to take a few lessons from him.

Kingfisher with his catch. Not the best shot as I cropped it quite a lot. He was over 100 yards across the lake for me at the time.

 

[Alan]

One of the lakes I hang out at. The area in the front is where the Wood Ducks were hanging out in late summer. They have now moved to the far side which is along the marsh.

 

[Alan]

I need to stretch.... These guys were on the far size of the lake pictured above.

I liked the reflection of both the Egret and the swamp grass and reeds.
