Photos come out so much nicer on a sunny day with blue skies. Still, there is really no choice about the weather (or what birds are present ) and you have to take chances on cloudy, gray days.

Blue skies, no worries. Great Egrets up in trees are always fun.

Black-necked Stilts, very gray day.

Bufflehead, a small diving duck that is almost always too far off for me to catch. I like the reflections in the first and second shot.

From a distance the heads look plain black. The camera captures the nice colors.

Kind of dingy Snow Geese?

Very nice shots Katy. Despite the gray day I like the contrast you got with the black-necked stilts. The snow geese shot was a favorite too...

I find shooting white, or black and white, birds easier on cloudy days. Notice on the stilts the even lighting without shadows. Sometimes I end up increasing my exposure or tweeking my white balance. Nice pictures, with the BN Stilts my favorite.
