Great visit, Journey remembered Ann and did well (well, there was the stick thing, and a torn pant leg thing, but hey!). Nothing picture worthy, but as we climbed into the truck to head back home, I caught sight of 5 large birds swooping in.
This first image is a 50% crop...
Not sure what these guys are, but they were out on the hunt for small game, snakes and such. While I scrambled to mount my longest lens, their search pattern took them directly overhead. By the time I got out of the car they were drifting away to the south and west.
They never came back closer, and stayed separated enough that I never caught them all in one frame.However, as they moved west toward the approaching clouds and swooped around in their search patterns they created an interesting effect: their body angles made it look like I was up in the clouds with them...
Hope you enjoy...
