On Wednesday, I spent the morning at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. White face ibis are passing through and can be seen all around in large groups. Shooting hand held with a 600mm lens and a 2x tc is a challenge for BIFs. My auto ISO setting on the high speed setting yielded more ISO than I like, but the painterly result seems to work.

This set shows what I have processed so far.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I took several shots of sandhills flying, but backlit, similar to your third shot, and in silhouette, I thought they were all distorted. And here, they actually look like that in flight!!! Exceptional shots, Mike, once again 🤓👑👑👑🤓

Thanks, Joe, using the masking tool in Lightroom allows you to open up the silhouette to set the colors.

Thanks, Jim, it was a target rich environment, but I got out a bit late.

Thanks, Dennis, it is a first for me, but I could be confusing with the glossy ibis.
