Bird action right now is crazy busy with all the migrating going in full swing! I have been trying to spend a little time each evening since the weather is so nice. Here is a few shots. The Grebe shots were taken from my pedal drive kayak. The birds don't seem to hardly notice you when in a kayak, I could get as close as I wanted and the Grebes even swam past me 8 feet away.

And the beat goes on Mike! Just awesome captures.
The Kayak must be a treat! You've enjoyed some great light with a number of these shots!

Great series! I've been out of birding for quite a while and I think you've re-inspired me to get my ass out again.

Love the Pileated setting nice to have an eye level view.
