Being a birder, there are many times when I am looking up at the skies. On this day I was at Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge. It was a great day to see birds, on the ground, in the trees and in the sky.

Great shots of the birds and the sky. I like the second one, they look like arrows heading for a target.
Very nice captures.
What could be better than a sky full of birds? A lake full. Excellent sighting and captures.
Nice capture of the birds in flight :)
OMG! I have never seen so many birds! Great shots and just a sight to behold!

All wonderful birds images, I really enjoy them!
Wonderful, they are beautiful birds. They hang out at Mono Lake in the summer, a place where you can sometimes find me. They are probably gone now, hope to check it out next week.
My favorites are the first and the last because of their sheer numbers! Fantastic captures!

Marvellous to see so many avocets - great captures. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful bird shots, I just love that first and second one. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not sure what a birder is but i guess it is someone who likes bird atching. You would like this post:

Eileen: What a neat look at the avocet is the sky, you certainly have a lot flying your way.
Your photos are so beautiful. I have never seen these birds before, they are wonderful. Lucky you :)
Great day to watch birds indeed.
Beautiful.

Great captures of birds in flight!
Yes, it is a beautiful sight to see. Great capture.
Wonderful shots. Photographing birds is not an easy task...good job! Thank you for sharing.
Such graceful and fluid photos. Perfect for skywatch - just beautiful.
Great shots. Those beaks look dangerous.
I too like the one of them over the water.
Beautiful bird-filled skies and a very interesting looking bird (one that I've never seen before)!
Hi Eileen,
I love the closeup of the birds in flight. I think it's really difficult to get such clear pictures of a moving target! Nicely done.
Wonderful shots of those beautiful birds!
Thanks for stopping by!
what a great flock of beautiful birds!
All that birds love to see them and I loved the stone bridge, MB
Great shots! they're beautiful birds :)
I really love that first shot. Very cool.
Fascinating images, I don't think I've seen Avocets before. The second shot is awesome, but I love all the pictures in this series.
The third one was my fave too. The birds flying near the water is such a nice sight.
Nice looking photos of the birds on the lake and in the sky.
Thanks for visiting my birds blog.
I like your 'birder' sky watch pictures. Your first picture is amazing for the number of birds you caught.
How magical that must have been! Beautiful shots!!
Great photos. I've never seen a large group like that in flight, let alone captured the image. Super!
What a fabulous shot of them flying! I look up and oooh and ahhh but don't think to take a photo. Very nice, and thanks for the kind words you left for me! I appreciate it.
Great shots...love the first one especially! Thanks for the visit and comment!
I saw my first Avocets this past spring in Boulder, CO. They are really graceful.
What beautiful photographs of these lovely birds in flight ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Lovely shots of birds in the sky. I heard of a new (to me) meme, Motion Thursday, you might want to check out. They are so beautiful flying.
how wonderful to see so many beautiful birds! Lovely captures.

Excellent shots! I love the first one!
Your bird photos are all lovely.
I love the first one especially.
