Thank you Joel and Kyle...
It helps to have some pretty spectacular subjects to "shoot"...
and I'm really enjoying finally having a telephoto lens...I made good use of it on this trip....what a difference it makes.

These are really good. Great captures. The food toss one is my favorite. Still the quality is awesome.

Thanks David...
Sunrise or sunset at low tide is the perfect time to shoot these birds.
They wander up and down the shoreline in search of food and never take any mind of human activity near them.
You can walk along a dock or breakwall within a few feet of them and "click" to your heart's content.
I loved taking photos of these birds catching fish and crabs and have quite a few of them with a meal hanging out of their beaks....so cool!
