Bird Pictures

Birds are fun picture subjects. And those in flight are a challenge for photographers. A lot of variables have to come together including enough light for a fast shutter; a lens and camera that can focus quickly and constantly; and the ability to pan the camera to match the bird's flight path.

Sometimes I get lucky with such shots. Other times I settle for photographs of birds on the ground or in the water. The swan picture in this set is one of my favorites.
