Some fabulous shots here. I really enjoy seeing all these birds. Many of them are a first time for me too.

Wow!! It looks like you have really been busy taking lots of photos.
I hope the weather has held up and been great! That is not so much the case for us. We are heading out again next Friday for another cruise which means more chances for me to take new photos…….hope all is well. Hugs Libby
