Very nice collection. Many of these birds exist in Arkansas as well. The main difference are the ocean birds. Nice compos and many difficult captures. Voted.

I agree. These are awesome! Did you use any flash with these? The balanced lighting is what sets these apart from most.

This is stunning stuff ... I can't understand why there aren't a hundred comments. Would be interested to have a little more info supplied about the lens(es) used (IS? tripod?)
