Red-winged Frenzy

This was in a farm field just to the west of Lake Mattamuskeet, NC Jan.14. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of these birds just swarming in a huge circle around me from the ground to the trees and back again. Most of us have seen these kinds of photos before, but it's really cool to be there and take some yourself. All you can do is just keep pointing and shooting. Nikon D300 at 300mm, f4.0, 1/4000 sec at ISO 200. Click on "Purchase Print" to see larger photo. :toast:

I like this. I've shot a similar image, but I didn't get as much red on the downbeat, so I like yours' better. Good for you.
