Howard,
I have come to the belief you have some trained birds hanging around your property.
I can almost hear you saying "one more time , please".

This gave me a chuckle. Looks like he's going to do a swan dive. Great stop action!

Looks like he's jumping trope, the limb being the rope. Cool shot. Wish I had trained birds in my back yard. (smile)

Wonderful timing and looks like you are having some fun with these take off shots. I really like the take off pose. Perhaps something is being added to the drinking water?
