Just awesome photos!! Thank you so much for sharing them Kirsten.

Thank you!

Wow, those are amazing! All the birds in flight ones are soooo cool! I am never fast enough or patient enough to get anything like that!

It's true, it's tricky, and it's difficult, as I have to admit. I've got many failure shot here yesterday, either the birds were too fast and I didn't catch them at all, or the focus wasn't right and everything got blurry... You have to make sure that the exposure time is extremely short, and I used the AI servo setting to make the focus follow the movement. The first picture, btw, is my fave; I really like how this turned out.

Wow, they're absolutely beautiful!!

Thanks, Randi!

*thunk* wow! We can see every ripple of feather on the open wings of the birds in flight! The bell, the traces (tracers? not sure which is the correct term), the face, beak and tip (one ends in such a sharp point!) just amazing to see.

Had a chuckle a the little lamb, "ear rub = BLISS!" ha haa.
