This was part of my birthday shoot…. I was actually going to get ready to leave so I could make it to my birthday lunch with a friend, but a bird decided to land. I was able to get shots of it while it was in the process of landing. I am glad I did not have my 70-300 mm which I normally shoot with loaded on my camera today. I was able to zoom, focus and use the full speed of my camera to capture these images today. I’ve not been out muct to see the birds this year for various reasons but this was a great shoot!
