Nice shots Howie! ; I see the oyster catchers stayed put since I was not there to send them off! ; (And I had nothing to do with the weather!)

Great shots Howie! ; Even if it was a crummy day.

I have some skimmers to share. ; Everything else was put on a Nikon D7000 memory card (thanks to Howie's friend) which Howie was nice enough to put on a CD for me. ; We'll be back tomorrow hoping for better weather. All cropped for composition.

Thanks, Howie! ; I sure hope I got some of the others as good as yours! Did you catch the skimmers skimming at the same time? ; I only got one or the other.

your skimmer shot with the 2 of them is better than mine and some of your others are good too. you got some great ones with the oyster catcher with a mussel.
thanks John

[Scottwdw]

Thanks guys! ; Howie was a great guide! ; He should charge for this...but not until after tomorrow.

Howie sent me one of my oyster catcher shots done with a Nikon D7000/80-400VR combo.

 

[Paul]

Howie was nice enough to transfer the D7000 images to DVDs since I didn't have a card reader for the D7000 memory cards. ; Here's more from Day 2 of Birdmania. All taken with the Nikon D7000 with 80-400VR lens.
