As always, nice set sir! I love the colour on that young bluebird.

WOW nice!

A pleasure to watch, thanks. I particularly enjoy the northern marsh harrier, absolutely beautiful birds and you got some great clean shots of it.
Cheers

Thank you for having a look and for commenting

 

[Bill Ferris]

Thanks, Larry.

 

[Bill Ferris]

Thank you, Greg. The harrier is my favorite raptor. I love their owl-like faces and that they fly so low and close to ground level.

Super collection Bill - thanks for sharing

 

[Bill Ferris]

Thank you for having a look

 

[D Cox]

All good.

I particularly liked the Peregrine.

 

[Bill Ferris]

Thank you, Don. While I'll typically get 2 to 3 good passes from harriers in a morning, the peregrine is more stingy. If I get one good pass, that's about it. It's usually before 9 am so, I try to be disciplined and stay off my phone until then

These are all excellent Bill yet that first one when viewed original is a standout image.

Thank you, Morris. The air was really clear that morning, allowing the bird to pop despite the distance.

These are beautiful, Bill. Especially the ones of the harriers. The first image in your set is stunning.

I have to get a chair and sit in a field & see if I can replicate some of your shots.

 

[Bill Ferris]

Thank you.

Finding a good spot with some natural cover and letting the birds come to you is a great strategy. Good luck.
