Absolutely marvelous action capture of this ritual, Ann! Terrific details in the birds and nest and the BG colors are a perfect compliment. #8527483Michelle Alton April 12, 2010
I would give some fingers just to SEE this, let alone to photograph the moment so brilliantly! #8527584Ann R. GRIDLEY April 12, 2010
Thanks for all of your comments. Initially, I was disappointed as the sun was right in my face. We got lucky with this display of the birds, and then I saw the nice effect the backlighting had, and didn't mind the sun's position at all.
