Nice. My favorite would be #1; great sky and with more space in the bottom of the frame, the pelican has somewhere to go.
Nice dive sequence! These birds are great flyers.
...for this I was in auto-area in the "bird" focus mode. Camera is a Z9 and when your subject is relatively isolated, once it grabs it doesn't let go as long as the bird
stays in the frame. As you can see, I had to pan down as fast as the bird was diving. Oh, just in case I have my back button set for 3D...I'm back to half-press
after years of BBF! Lens was the 100-400 Z ...

Thank you, Charlie! I am familiar with this place. I live about 30 minutes away from this place currently. I have been there three times in last two weeks. Your shots are great! Thanks!
Great action series, Charles.

Beautiful action sequence, Charlie. Gotta love that Z9.
