    thanks nick

    the bg in the last 1 was bad so I cropped tight and lost a lot of feathers but had to. BGs in general at this place suck so the challenge is to find an opening. Flight shots happen about 5-10 per minute, it's crazy and a great place to practice

    fresh from LR (I just got home yesterday and leave again Sunday for FD, this looks like another great year for birds in Florida, it seems the last few years just keep getting better), If you were thinking of going now is peak with temps in the low 70's and no bugs

    Nice set, Randy. Looks like you're having fun down there. It wouldn't have occurred to me to go tight like you did in no.4 and it worked really nicely.
