Impressive all the way around, but the second Nerodia shot looks as if you were in a studio.

Nice series. Lots of lovely detail and the colors are vivid.

Im no expert species names so ill take your word on it haha.

It was shot at relatively close range (without risking getting bit), and I used my Metz 50 flash which is I suspect is what you are seeing.

Yup - european starling.

I love the water snake ones too, but the tree swallow is my favorite. Beautiful bird and lovely posture!
