I do so adore shots of birds in flight, and especially shots of something other than the classic majestic soaring and/or sweet fluttering. You've captured the mechanics of flight, and that's truly something special. Those gulls looking all the world like lens clouds - that's a posture I've never seen captured before. Brilliant. Loved it. All of it. And me too - I get so giddy when the red winged black birds come back. We've seen our first geese now, so let the countdown begin!tattytiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408220720084181008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629654067597010887.post-46211608234232058492012-03-19T23:18:55.229-04:002012-03-19T23:18:55.229-04:00Very fun Spring post, Hilary.
