The dark background of the first image really pops the birds! Very nicely done.

My apologies for the delayed response to all of you who allowed me to share a few of the feathered residents
of a short section of the Snoqualmie Valley with you. It's good to be home again.
So, here's to:
Retired CPO, Real Nikon Lover, BrentHarder, photophile, i-fox, NMGal, UTMike, J-SPEIGHT, blacks2, joecichfr,
crafterwantabe, and Bubalola.
Thank you all for the kind and supportive comments.
In closing here are two others who I was unable to capture in the best light, but I have to settle for what
I could get.

A very wet American Kestrel

Great set! I have noticed in the larger waterfowl species that pairs-Canada geese, American Wigeon and so on tend to fly in in a wing-synchronized manner. At time I notice immature birds flying in sync with adults- Believe they are blood-related.
Thanx for sharing!
