All birds in flight are amazing, but for me it is that down stroke which encapsulates the sheer effort needed. I love this capture – and those wings. Thank you.

Thanks, Bill. We get some interesting backgrounds on Antelope Island.

I tend to agree with you about that particular flight posture, Terry – particularly with long-beaked species.

Thank you, Charlotte. I’m hoping that’s all behind us now. Time will tell.

Patty, They can be very hard to see among the rocks unless they’re high enough to be outlined by the sky. But when they raise those wings they sure stand out.

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the fabulous shots of these birds. I love the bokeh on these shots! Really sets the bird off to see very well..

And yet the last photo is easily my favorite. ‘In Flight’ trumps many other considerations. Beyond that, this particular ‘down’ wing position is the loveliest of all action bird poses.

Thanks the only willets I have seen look the same color as rocks I have never,until now, seen the marvelous wing flash.
Now that you showed it I can see the edge of black in the folded wings.
Wonder full
