Birds in Flight…

If there’s one thing that Montague Island has plenty of it’s birds. You have no idea how many there were or just how noisy they can be. I’m talking thousands, tens of thousands, maybe millions – it certainly felt that way.
Look Right
NIKON D750 + 50.0-500.0 mm f/4.5-6.3 @ 500 mm, 1/800 sec at f/6.3, ISO 100
We crept up very stealthily to this small gathering of cormorants lined up very nicely on this curved rock.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger. To see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer click any of the images.
I’s
NIKON D750 + 50.0-500.0 mm f/4.5-6.3 @ 500 mm, 1/1000 sec at f/6.3, ISO 100
I managed to get a few nice frames of them all laid out in a row before they got spooked and took to flight.
Flight
NIKON D750 + 50.0-500.0 mm f/4.5-6.3 @ 500 mm, 1/800 sec at f/8, ISO 100
Even flying through the skies in formation these birds have a beautiful grace to them.
