It has been ages since I had an opportunity for some flying feathers. Not so many around here...

¡Hola Bryan!
I especially like the first two, but… how's your experience with On1 going? 😁 -
Thanks
Wow, I haven't got to it yet...

Cormorant

I like them, their dark plumage makes them difficult to photograph, but there is good light and good detail...

Liftoff 2
Eastern Great Egret
Not a pleasant background but the elegance of the bird does it for me. If you look closely there's a little Cormorant fishing just behind the Egret's feet.
I had been shooting it in a tree and had dialed in a lot of (-)ve EC so no time to change when it took off...

Crazy day today - a whole bunch of birds feasting on insects just as I started my walk to a local dam.
A pair of young Rainbow Bee-Eaters have been around but normally hang out up high in the trees.
Some Dusky Wood Swallows were in on the act
Gotcha
Google suggests a Jacky Winter but I have only ever seen them feeding around bushes
The Barn Swallows (maybe Welcome Swallows) are just too fast for the G9 AF and or me but this pair was putting on an acrobatic display for their mates
Then to round it off a Wedge-Tailed Eagle appeared at the dam...

A bit far away but the insect was a lucky catch...
