Really nice job Dick - was he putting on the brakes to land on #2 or did he just do that in the air for fun?

Great shots! I really love the second one. I have never seen a Great Blue Heron do ballet.
I hadn't looked at it that way, but you're right, it does look like a ballet. Thanks for your thought provoking comment.

It's one of my greatest challenges with the new Nikon D850 and the lenses I purchased along with it, but it's fun and I'm more and more pleased with the results. The adage "practice makes perfect" is surely true in this case. Thanks for your comment.

Very nice rdrechsler, #2 is certainly a winner
I've been struggling a lot with the new camera and the amazing lenses I bought, so I felt very gratified when I nailed that second shot. Thanks for commenting.

What a view from your office window! #2 looks great when downloaded.
Thank you Patrick, I often comment myself on how lucky I am to live in such a target rich environment. I'm so happy with that second shot. It will get framed!

Nice shots Dick.
Thank you Jack, the first one is disappointing because the focus is so far off, but under the predicament I was in when I took it, I guess it's excusable...LOL.
