I'm pleased that you liked them. Colorado lies in a migratory pathway so we get some birds that just stop by as they are passing through of which the Shoveler and Avocet happen to be two of the current visitors.

A very entertaining aviary tour.
I could have added a few more but I felt the post was running a bit long. I still have pelicans, hawks, GBH, blue-winged teal and eagles, but as these were all taken at a greater distance, there is not as much detail in the shots. The diversity of the birds in this area never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for viewing.

Nice work. My own technique for tracking little birds leaves way too much to be desired.

PNagy, if you only knew the number of shots that ended up in the trash just to end up with a few keepers.
