Big Blue coming in with a graceful little toe drag

OK it's only a crow in flight and I really just think he was photo bombing me anyway since I tend to ignore them as much as possible.

Another hard day for the hawk (grainy and soft, but the best I can do)

Go Away!

Wheeling round for another pass

Enough of this

Carrion Crow. Nikon D7100, Nikkor 80-200mm ED AF f2.8. A little soft around the beak and eye. First real outing with new Camera though, so I can forgive myself !

earlier today....I almost hate to drain the water off my pool cover and run this nice couple off. Maybe we'll have a late pool opening this year.

I was a bit far away, but a pair of finches were up to some amusing antics

I think a bird in "pre-flight" kinda counts as a bird in flight, right?

 

[wev]

Hey guys, check out those two -- so common!

When it looks as good as that, it surely does.
