Took several short afternoon photo trips in the Carnation Farm vicinity of the Snoqualmie Valley, King County, WA this past week. These swan shots are from yesterday, December 30.
Wow, NICE. I haven't seen swans since the last time in Alaska.
The dark background of the first image really pops the birds! Very nicely done.

And just a little splash at the end... Precision flying and wonderful photo-shooting

My apologies for the delayed response to all of you who allowed me to share a few of the feathered residents
of a short section of the Snoqualmie Valley with you. It's good to be home again.
So, here's to:
Retired CPO, Real Nikon Lover, BrentHarder, photophile, i-fox, NMGal, UTMike, J-SPEIGHT, blacks2, joecichfr,
crafterwantabe, and Bubalola.
Thank you all for the kind and supportive comments.
In closing here are two others who I was unable to capture in the best light, but I have to settle for what
I could get.
A very wet American Kestrel
Red-tailed Hawk

Great set! I have noticed in the larger waterfowl species that pairs-Canada geese, American Wigeon and so on tend to fly in in a wing-synchronized manner. At time I notice immature birds flying in sync with adults- Believe they are blood-related.
Thanx for sharing!
