OK, I just thought maybe you can't see the arrow, don't know why you
wouldn't it's just pretty simple HTML any browser should display it but
here's each individual URL

Switched to 300mm (far left bird has taken flight. I tracked him for a
bit this was the best image.

Went back too photograph the group, got a couple of shots, this was of
the most interest as the center bird begins to fly...

Then the dog decides to go insane and chase a squirrel, chipmunk, mouse,
who the hell knows, over the edge of a twenty food drop, with me
attached... I get him back under some sort of control. Next shot
there's only one bird, but I didn't get a really good image, missed
focus by quite a bit and he took off before I could get another.
You see I go photographing water birds with a handicap, a smallish
excitable bird dog. It would be great if I could have trained him a bit
better but while he has the instincts and drive, he hasn't the self
control, and he knows I won't hurt him so threats don't work...
