Thanks Bob. I did indeed. I need to go back soon to see the fledglings fly!

Another outing to Prime Hook trying to get skimmers feeding. It is difficult to predict tides in the marsh area, this was 3 hours after high tide at the inlet but the tide was still very low. The birds were way out. These were taken at 600mm the first with a minor crop. I just got them flying way out or overhead going from pool to pool to feed.

Really stunning photos in this tread! I want to contribute, but have next to no bird photos. How about a Dolphin in Flight photo?
Quickshift was a great help with this

Went out for Skimmers again - cloudy day - no skimmers close enough - just gulls

Nice shooting Bob but I think I'd bump your shutter speed up a notch or two.

K-1 and Sigma 150-500 Bigmos at 500mm.

very nice

We don't have hummingbirds here in NZ, but I saw some at a feeder in New Mexico when I was visiting in July. What I found out real fast is they are slippery little suckers to photograph....
