Love the pose and the background. As usual, great techs and sharpness. Nice frame.

Tack sharp Kurt. Nice catch on this. Love the detail, the BG, and the color of the meadowlark. Classic. That's how it is supposed to be done.

Excellent capture of this songster, Kurt. I have tried to take some flight shots of this species, but have never been this successful. You got a perfect wing-position and great light. Excellent techs as usual and the background is superb.

Knew it was yours when I saw the small thumbnail. I have only managed one or two decent images of these guys. I find them very skittish. Love the wing position and the two tiered background.

Tack sharp against a pleasing background. Another perfect bird-in-flight shot.

Very nice image placement and wing position. The color is very warm and pleasing. Super BG. All together, a wonderful package.
