Sometimes when you're panning a bird in flight, you get a surprise, as did these Pintails in the landing zone. This is from Brigantine just after Christmas. C&C appreciated.

Great action image Bill. If anything I find the ripples in the water behind the heron a bit distracting and wish the two ducks in front of the heron were more in focus (but that would be asking a lot :)). Thanks for sharing
Nice action shot, Bill.
Cool action caught Bill. Looks like he really spooked them. Well done
Interesting piece of action captured Bill,
We always see interesting things happening around in nature, the challege is to caputre it , you have done nicely
Holy HERON, Batman! Great capture! I wouldn't want the ducks in front to be any more in focus... as a large print, would like to see a bit more space on the bottom right... maybe a bit sharper on the heron's head. Totally cool image!
