I LOVE this shot, topcat! Fantastic photo!!
It looks like chaos at first, but in DDL it's not. All headed in the same direction!

Thank you, chief. They usually are all headed in the same direction. Here they were getting ready to land. But it is amazing how they do this.

Wow. How did you get so many birds to stay in focus?

I used a fast SS and a small aperture. And I was lucky.
Most times when I see this, I miss a lot, this time I was lucky. And I mean most times I miss it.

I think that they are sandpipers, but they are here.
They spent a lot of time just sitting there and milking about.
For one moment, they all took off. But just as quickly, that came back.
Who knows what is in their heart?

Nice.

You did a great job capturing all those birds! We have hundreds of migratory birds-ducks mostly-and Sanderlings, Killdeer and flocks of European Starlings!

Thank you.
We have a lot of them also, only during the winter. I don't know too much about birds, but I am starting to learn.
