An American Avocet stretches a bit.


This Canada Goose appears to be conducting an imaginary orchestra.

A Red-tailed Hawk looks over its shoulder at you!

A Killdeer tests its wings.

This Mallard offers a lovely display of its beautiful wing.

  6. Hi Jann, Once again you have given us a treasure trove of beautiful images. I appreciate the action shots more all the time as I'm learning how difficult it is to capture them as you've done here. I don't like to steal from the previous comments, but Julie nailed it ... I can't select a favorite ... they are all wonderful! So true. Thanks, Jann, for posting. John
