A very cool frame, Dave. I like the activity a lot. I do wish that one of the birds facing us (the flying one?) was in crisp focus, but the action and behavior make this a very interesting image.

Hi Dave, interesting behavioral image. The one flying above helps make the shot. Sharpness isn’t dead on but is sufficient to make this a keeper.
