Great Egret coming at me.

tough shot in the sunlight and almost full front view. You still managed an excellent focus and a very successful flight shot, Don

Is there a theme? I am trying to follow Eric's lead with a bug!

The weird thing about this picture is that the dragonfly was way out mid-lake at Warner Lake, and I cropped quite a bit. Yet the D800E and 300mm f/4 with 1.7tc caught it perfectly. Not sure how that happened. That early D800E was a great body for details.

that's an amazing photo of a Blue-eyed Darner (Rhionaeshna multicolor). I also have a flight shot of one of these guys, I'll post some day

I studied gulls 25 years ago and have forgotten most of it. I do remember that these White-headed Gulls don't bread until their heads are completely white.

Oh I see , thank you!
