Wow! Nice shot topcat!!! Guess what? You are now a bird photographer...and there is no escape!
Acting fast is the primary skill. Congrats!

Thank you, Chief. The more that I do it, the more that I love it.
Anyway, this area has a lot of birds during the winter, but not so much in the summer. So I have to get them while they are here.

Yep, I'm familiar with Alameda. I lived there for a while, while in the Navy.

Thank you, Mike
I don't usually react that fast. Usually, I miss them.

Nice capture, topcat. I have had that happen to me with Willets before. Gotta be on your toes.

Thank you kpmac. I have gone to this place again, but nothing like this has happened.
I hope that it happens again, but you can never tell. You have to be lucky.

Very nice! So sharp, and they stand out nice and bright against the warm background.
