I haven't shot many pictures lately, so I went on a short drive today to exercise the shutter finger!

Beautiful. I haven't been able to "catch" one yet, except in captivity. Makes me want to get out and take some photos. I've been enjoying your website too - wonderful photos. So many things to be thankful for.

They are such beautiful birds.  We have had them nest in our roof,  These are great shots Ken!

Great shots.  Wonderful that you were able to catch the "take-off".

Thanks ladies.  I enjoy shooting them every time I am blessed with the opportunity!  My "keeper" rate on flying bird shots is pretty dismal, so I was tickled to come away with a fair shot of this one.
