I really do like the action. The light was harsh and it did create some distracting shadows but the birds are sharp. I think I would like to see a little more room at the top. I, too hope that you got more of this series.
You did well to capture this Terry. I like the frontal image of the upper bird in the second photo but prefer the first image overall because of the interaction between the two birds.
The action you've captured here is really interesting. The light was harsh, but you did well with the exposure. It is very difficult to capture pleasing images with action like this. Most of the time one or more birds is turned away or in a less than attractive position. While neither of the images captured great poses in both birds, I think the front view of the bird in the 2nd image is really cool. Bluring the bg foliage and a slight ccw rotation would improve the second image.
