Nice ones, in flight one is great, and the fish in the air right before death is nice too!

 

[HW]

thanks

Howie, with all your time out there, your timing for these behaviors are excellent. ;

 

[HW]

thanks Scott. it's just being there when it happens.
what is that calculation?
luck is time spent x the amount of pics taken

...and the now-how and talent to capture it in a split second. ;

...and the now-how and talent to capture it in a split second.

yes that takes a lot of practice

does this bring back memories Scott?
taken today from the same spot you took yours almost 3 years ago

It sure does. ; It is still the most popular article on my blog. ; Here's mine for comparison.

and the article: Why Do Birds Stand on One Leg

As they say, now you know the rest of the story. ; ; I don't know about Howie's but my shot was a fast grab as the insects (aka divebombing eating machines) did not give us much time outside the safe insect proof car in late July. ; Is mid-June better or should I come prepared with my underarmour and Old Woodsmen?

 

[HW]

they are not as bad in June as they are in July and August but they are there along with gnats and ticks so I would bring whatever it is you like to use for anti bug

 

[HW]

was very close to this one

 

[jbwolffiv]

Very nice Howie!

 

[HW]

thanks
