Lapwings- I think the black crowned variety, take to the air at the approach of a certain pesty photographer

A barn swallow. They will leave us pretty soon. I wish they wouldn't.

Excellent MetteHHH! They are SOOO Difficult to capture in flight!

These images were captured at ISO 3200 with a tripod-mounted K-S2 and Tokina 500mm f/8 mirror lens. The site is a wetland off Poseyville Road in Midland County, Michigan. Approximately 50 great egrets roosted.

Thanks Noel! It was ONE keeper out of a long series...

Terns in flight, but they'd rather be on the ground.

This first one is kind of humorous, but it's an illusion

Lucky you Mette!
What are the odds of a picture of a stork in Denmark on PF? It requires both a stork and a Pentaxian - one in a trillion?

A humble immature Herring Gull, but the focus is better than most of my BIFs and the light is not bad.

This is taken today.
K-1 and the 150-450mm. and cropped.
