    I shot some swans today

    It had been 3 weeks since I'd got anything besides backyard birds. When I heard about Tundra Swans just 15 miles away, I had to check it out.

    Nice shots Mike. It's been several years since I photographed tundra swans. is that pano a stitch or a crop? Either way I like it.

    Re: I shot some swans today

    I haven't been on for awhile and just noticed the feature. Thanks, Paul.

    Mike, this is just cropped that way. I've never attempted a stitch. Someday...

    Thanks all, for your comments. They are appreciated.

    Happy Thanksgiving.

    Re: I shot some swans today

    Mike, great images, never seen them flying before. Unfortunately now, I will have to wait until next April, when they migrate through my part of the world on their way north for the summer. I wish, I could figure out when they migrate back through in the fall. Have to do some more concentrated checking next fall.

    Cheers,

    WesternGuy
