All of these are interesting results, Debbie. My favorite is the second kingfisher just because I really like the way the wings came out. Nothing you can do on something like that but take the photos and hope you end up with something you like. I think you picked a good shutter speed for your subjects, though you might think about adjusting it for the size of the bird. A kingfisher beats its wings many, many times in the time it takes that egret to beat its once. I also think the egret would work a little better if it had had a contrasting background.
All in all a fine trio of ICM birds in flight.

Thank you @Dennis_Plank - I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing, but it’s fun. The egret I agree with you on the background but I’ll call it ‘minimalist.’ I like the second kingfisher as well.
The Second and Third Images are way to cool and interesting … Kingfisher #2 I love the Wings. Great ICM and composition capture. Really Nice Debbie !!!
