Very cool action shot Gene. How often do you get to Laguna Seca?

Jake, I'm the primary fixer-upper, mower, weed-eater, feeder filler-upper, etc. I'm there about once every three weeks. A little more often during the busy season. Rarely do I photograph more than part of a morning or afternoon. This year I photographed for almost a week. Luckily got some (I think) pretty good shots.

cracking action Gene. Feisty blighters

Nice action shot!!

I think you got some outstanding shots.  I'm seriously considering driving out next April for 4 or 5 days.  Any thoughts or recommendations?

Jake,
April is generally considered the time of the year when the migration starts in South Texas.  That's true, but sometimes it starts a little later.  If you have time to hang around for about two weeks, then I suggest arriving in S. Texas about April 17th.  If you don't have that much time, then arrive about April 25th and stay four or five days.  This will generally be the best time to get the most birds.  I assume you're driving from Florida, and if so, you will also have opportunities along the Gulf coast on your return trip.
