I call these guys "Flying Orca's". Is it just me or do they look like a mini Killer Whale?

Flight Shots
It was a pretty windy day at Goose Lake Prairie yesterday, so I didn't expect to find much, but what I did find were a few species in the air. I found Killdeer, Tree Swallows and a Snipe!

ReplyDeleteThis is a nice series of flying shot. The tree swallows are one of my favorite birds in your areas. They are so colorful compare to our swallows in Europe that are just dark... Beautiful pictures. have a nice week-end.
Sometimes its not the number of of species but the photo ops that count.Love,love,love these flight shots.
