2-18-2016 Facing the Wind

Dunlin on the jetty at Edmonds. I love how they all are
facing the direction of the weather. These guys fly in close synchronization - amazing to watch

BTW, this image needs to be viewed in 'Original Size' to
see the detail.

Dear Terry,
Superb image.
I love the way the birds are all facing the same
way in perfect synchronicity.
The bird coming into land is just wonderful.

Thanks, Hal. It was a bit of a challenge, though. The wind was blowing so hard, I
had a hard time even standing up ! :)

What an amazing shot, Terry.
With the bird with its landing gear down
is the cherry on the top.
A really wonderful image... like being there
