Those are nice sharp, steady photos. How did the background get like that? It's as if the wind was shaking the branches.
Of course, with your sharp eye, you would pick up on that, CO. It was indeed, a very windy day. Cloudless but almost blustery. I have a shot I like very much, where you can see the wind twist his feathers to the side. I had to brace my lens against a tree. I attach it for your perusal. Thanks for your complement. I think you know I admire your work.
