Something scared these birds (it wasn't me) & they took off en masse. The wind was strong enough to blow a dog off its chain & it was a real effort to get air borne. Downloading is recommended.

Is that one an immature bird or is the bill just at an angle that its hard to see the width of the bill?

It's an adult bird--probably just the angle. Earl.

Nicely done, Earl. I like windy days for BiF's sometimes. It slows them down for easier focusing if they are flying into it.
