I like the gull and the Osprey with its catch.

Ospreys are so photogenic, even when they don't have a catch. This one was flying into the rising sun with breakfast all ready to go. Thanks for looking.

My fave is the Catbird. Very clean image. Stay well and keep on posting, since you've got a lot to play with in post!
In this particular area, Catbirds are the most common species, so I almost didn't take the shot. But, it was so close that I was able to catch some nice detail. Thanks for the comment. Oh, and I do have a few more that I can post...

Two majestic birds! The Great Black-backed Gull is the largest Gull in the world, and we had many of them at the beach this month. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

I agree. Do you know how many times that I had to get that bird to fly by before I could get the wave just right? 
Once? Nice set.

Very nice captures. Love the Merlin -- such a pretty bird. We had a pair of Merlins take over an old Crow's nest near our property in Maine. They have large litters of young, like ten or more, which requires a huge amount of their favorite food which is catching small birds on the fly. During the season they decimated all of the new fledge of all our beautiful small birds. Eastern Phoebes, Nuthatches, woodpeckers, finches, etc all disappeared. Thank God the Merlins moved out the next year after cleaning out the food supply.
