Hello Ted! This collection of birds is simply superb. I love the sunlight in the wing's feathers - gorgeous and never seen before. CONGRATULATIONS! Mike (Zurich, Switzerland). P.S.: I'd like to thank you soooo much for your attention and your many kind comments about my different albums: you went carefully through so many of them and really took the time to appreciate each and every single picture - this means a lot to me and I honestly feel honored about this. Your words are very much appreciated, as they come from somebody who knows what he's talking about. THANK YOU very much!

<font color="navy"> Dear Ted, what a marvelous collection of beautiful birds - high flyers - and all before you had your new camera, too! ... I want to thank you for your kind words.

Spectacular shots...to die for! I am humbled after seeing your album and amazed that you find my featured album worthy of your accolades. Would love to know the camera and equipment you use to superbly capture our feathered friends in flight. Do you go to a nature preserve? The art of photographing birds in flight still eludes me. Thank you again for your kind words and I would certainly appreciate any advice you care to share. Admiringly...Jan in North Carolina JotterJan@aol.com

great shots ted what kind of lens did you use - birds are a new avenue for me thanks for sharing & stopping in to see my photos

said rzernitsky 2006.02.12 at 10:56:35 PST

Hi Ted, This has to be one of my favorite albums anywhere. It is not only because of the beauty on these egrets and Roseate Spoonbills in flight, but because I know how truly difficult these great shots are. You make it look deceptively easy. Greetings from Florida, Paul. P.S. Thank you for your very generous words on my Lowry Zoo album.

said paul_fernandez 2006.01.22 at 07:57:03 PST

Hi! This is a wonderful alum, celebrating birds, right next to your album with F-16 pictures; absolutely great! I have all these birds near me here in Florida. Charlie, West Palm Beach

said starguywpb 2005.12.14 at 16:25:23 PST

Wonderful album! Great catches! Thank you for the nice note. Nino

said nino71141 2005.12.02 at 06:13:54 PST

Wow. I never saw a rose colored spoonbill. Gorgeous! I am jealous! Great photos. I have to agree with cleo here it does look like a ballet in the air! Really well done. How many pictures did you have to take to get down to these? LOL! Gin the artist

said oceanloves 2005.10.03 at 06:37:56 PDT

Hi Ted, This album is awesome! A ballet in the air. Thank you. Thanks for your beautiful words in my guestbook. Yes I think you have the spirit too. You will rebuild too just like we. We have our work cut out for a wile but no hurricane will brake us if we don't let it happen. It's up to us. We will do it. On the Golf Coast and in the Caribbean! Hugs Heidi

said cleo85100 2005.09.29 at 19:40:02 PDT

Hi Ted, This is a very inspirational album and very well done! The spoonbills are such an interesting bird and to have them in flight must be pretty exciting. I think you live in Louisiana.. if you do I hope you and your family made it through Katrina. Take care my friend! Eti

said etiswinford 2005.09.09 at 03:28:06 PDT

Hi Ted! This album reminded me of the documentary film "Travelling Birds". I agree with Paul below, it is an awesome album and you have done an amazing job capturing these birds in flight! I have enough problems trying to capture the fish that swim out of the picture! Many thanks for your kind words in my Marine Life album, your encouragement is appreciated. Best wishes.. Gladys, Western Australia.

said gladysclancy2 2005.08.10 at 00:36:22 PDT

Hi Ted, absolutely awesome album! I know how difficult it is to capture a bird in flight, up-close and well framed and you have done an outstanding job of it. I have a couple that someday may expand into an album, but it will probably take me about 10 years. I'm lucky if I can see four or five Roseate Spoonbills within a whole winter season, but never in flight within shooting distance. Congratulations! And thanks for your very kind words yesterday on my Utah album. Greetings from Florida, Paul.

said paul_fernandez 2005.08.05 at 14:40:51 PDT

Hello Ted, Wonderful album, absolutely awesome!!!! Great photography, each picture is a pure beauty!! I can't take pictures of birds on flight as good as you. You really did an excellent job! Greetings from Belgium, Tatiana

said nefertaty 2005.07.14 at 07:05:36 PDT

Hi Ted! This is a masterpiece of an album - fantastic pictures of fantastic birds! What an exceptional place, Lake Martin Rookey: so many species more or less together. A pleasure for the eye - and visibly the photographic lens! Thanks for this gift. Thanks also for your kind comments in our "Dragonflies" album. With best wishes from SW France: Kaethi and Henri

Hello Ted Thank you for signing on my guestbook with kind words. I'm sorry that saying the reward to you slows very much.Your photograph is very wonderful. I cannot take bird's flight photograph as well as you. Thank you for sharing. Kei(uncle_kei,cajun_kei) from Japan

said uncle_kei 2005.07.03 at 08:49:40 PDT

I loved, loved, loved this album, but can you tell me other than the spoonbills, and the ibis', were the others (with the exception of the one pic of the great blue heron) are herons or egrets, and is the small dark one a commorant (sp)? I like to name the pics as I save them, and it's hard to tell when they're in flight pose...if you know can you email me at hilltopaction@yahoo.com

said hilltoppooh_3 2005.07.02 at 20:44:01 PDT

WOW! Now this perfection at it's best! I am totally impressed Ted! You are a master at capturing birds in flight. Not sure if you have been folloing my gosling story album. I have been writing it for my grandchildren but it attracted a lot of members as well. I have a #1 Fred and Ethels Surprise album that tells a little story about the baby goslings that the parents brought to our pond over a month ago. etc. Now there is a #2 that I haven't started up yet that will continue the story soon. I added a bunch of photos for anyone to pick a favorite from, then I will dedicate it to them. So if you are interested in joining in please come soon they are going fast....Thank you for your ever so kind words in my #1 flower album a while back. Laura

Hi Ted, Fantastic photos, wish i could take photos of birds in flight like you have. I especially liked the pictures of the Roseate Spoonbill. I've only ever seen one in the wild and it wasn't at all pink, a juvenile maybe? All the best and keep up the good work, Rob

said gyrfalcon_2003 2005.05.16 at 10:04:25 PDT

Hi Ted! When I saw this album my first thought was, &quot;WOW!...these are huge birds. I've never seen anything like them!&quot; Then I thought, &quot;Ted has done an AMAZING job of capturing them in flight.&quot; Then...I hope he was standing under a BIG UMBRELLA!!!&quot; ;-) Thanks so much for the comments in my guestbooks the other day.

Hi Ted, again you have done an excellent job in capturing these foul photos. Thanks for the info on the lens you are using, very impressive. I considered maybe getting a less expensive tele w/o the IS, but I think I'll just save up and get the a Cannon IS lens. Thanks again, Paul/Utah
