the Pelican is great, i probably would have cropped a weeee bit tighter though.

The Eagle (Hawk?)(no.3) could probably benefit from some of the dark shadows brought out a bit more in P&P.
otherwise nice and sharp shots especially no.1

Well caught on the first one Scott. What lens did you use?

The Osprey hung arouund for quite awhile and I was lucky to get lots of pics of it! I agree with the shadows though!

Thanks for looking!

Ah so it's an Osprey.
not an Eagle or Hawk.
Thanks

Very nice photos Scott, the pelican is great and the Osprey is a very unusual bird.

I took a few shots of an osprey last week:

My shots were a tad blown except for one but it is a beautiful bird all the same.
