Beautiful captures and the bird even has your name on their feathers like they were there just for you. LOL Well done Bob & Mabuhay.

hey bob and cynthia!
great shots! it is as if these avian friends were just waiting for you to show up with your gear! i like the contrast between the polarized alien-like eyes of the pratincole with the almost human qualities of those of the gp snipes.
