"The Birds"

My bird images from the Texas Gulf Coast shoot in February has finally been narrowed down to 36 photos, cropped square (1:1). Now I need to pick 4-6 to print on metal at 30"x 30" for gallery display.

I have my Nikon 'hand-held,' but ospreys not here due to pushy geese; the osrey pair here had returned every year for a long time.

I think the one with two terns side byside is a good candidate (row 5, pic 3).

…I like the nesting hummingbird. So far, there have been fewer migrating through or area this year. 2nd choice is number 16, looks like a bad hair day.
