Description
I gotta fly, my friends! I'm off to the airport to catch a plane to go see Jilly, and I'll be back Sunday evening. I'll try to check in while I'm gone, but if you don't see me, don't worry! :)
The big bird in the middle is a blue heron. Just below him is a seagull. The rest are all ducks. There's a beach in Edmonds that's a bird sanctuary, and one day when I was down there I got lucky and one of the herons was feeding in the shallows.
I wasn't happy with the squared-off composition formed by these birds, but they apparently weren't actors guild members, and didn't seem to care how I wanted them spaced! Go figure. And I don't know why all those ducks are lined up in the background, but there were a bunch of 'em out there the whole time I was around.
Have a nice weekend all, and I'll see you when I get back!

We even have herons here in the suburbs of Manchester, They've learned that ornamental garden fishponds are a rich source of 'easy pickings' They are really impressive birds and you've caught the elegance in flight extremely well. Mike
Very nice capture, and I think you did just fine with the compostion... seeings how you can't tell them what to do... HaHa!... Thanks for sharing these beautiful birds! Have a wonderful trip! smiles
Herons always remind me of Pterodactyls, especially when they're flying. Have fun this weekend. We'll try to hold the fort until you get back.
Great capture !
You know, I've tried to give birds direction when photographing them and I can't seem to get 'em to behave, either. Go figure... Quite a collection of fowl here, Tara, and your composition is excellent. Have a safe trip!
Wonderful in flight capture, Tara. Super shot. Have a very happy time with dear Jilly. Stay safe. Hugs. Diane.

Enjoy your little holiday. This is a super little capture as it would be pretty hard to get these all together.
Have a great time Tara, this is a great shot!
superb capture
I love Heron and have yet to get a shot of one. A wonderful capture of one inflight and so may different birds in our area. Have a safe trip. Hope to see some fun photos when you get back:))
How cool you got this many different kinds of water birds in one shot. I'll miss you while you are gone. I think you ought to take me with you... :-)
Excellent, crisp in flight image... certainly not easy to achieve.. very nice, Tara!
A great shot, never mind how they arranged themselves! Have a good time!
WOWWWWWWWW Amazing shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent shot.
Excellent capture! Enjoy your trip, see you when you return!
those ducks is just hanging out . lol cool shot
Stellar capture of the magnificent blue heron, soaring elegantly by as you try to snap it at its best. The ducks are in a row because they are genetically predisposed for such a maneuver. You're no doubt familiar with the expression, "get all your ducks in a row?" Have a safe flight, Tara, get back on Renderosity post haste, and who is Jilly, and where does she reside?
Lovely shot! We have the Great Blue Herons nesting here, too, but I've never caught a shot that can match this! Beautiful! I thought about the row of ducks in the back.They're all extras, waiting to be summoned forward for their 5 minutes of fame!
Fantastic shot ! Ana
nice shot..
Must have been Lunch time!, Superb capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3 varieties of birds at least. have a wonderful trip
You have fun, Tara May wonderful capture lights me eyes and a sight to view sweet weekend to you too warm hug and love, Linda
