Very nice shot!
I like the wing positions of the two birds. Good job on getting them both sharp.

Great shot, Jim. The BG is nice for the shot. Great timing to catch the wings in the right position.

You don't know how much I appreciate this shot. Getting one is tough....getting two is so hard. You did an excellent job with this capture.

:D :D :D Great flight of these Shovellers. I'm amazed you can get this close with a 400; here, they are very shy.
