To celebrate the gorgeous weather, I took off from work one morning and headed back down toward the coast on a solo outing to San Bernard NWR. Just as I arrived in the reserve, the sun burned through the last patches of fog to reveal a glorious blue sky. And while there weren't any interesting cloud formations at which to gaze, there was plenty to garner my SkyWatching attention as herons, hawks, ibises, gulls and more filled the skies.

I'll post more pictures from the trip as soon as I can finish weeding through them all.

Awesome photos! They do look like happy birds! happy to be in that beautiful blue, blue sky!
These are lovely pictures. I too think that the birds are displaying their satisfaction for the change in the weather.
Nothing much is so pleasing to the eye as birds in flight. You have caught them absolutely perfectly. The last one is a masterpiece if I ever saw one.
Beautiful picrures all of them :) I have to practice photographing birds :) Well done :)
Wow! All great flight shots, but the White Ibis riding the light are just great!
Ah, how can you not love the power of flight.

I LOVE your sky photos this week. Awesome is right. I love flight photos of birds.
What great shots! Very impressive.
These are magnificent.
It's lovely to see more than the usual suspects in the sky. Hawks and herons are about as good as it gets here north of Dallas, unless it's the occasional barred owl at evening. Thanks for these lovely views of incredible birds.
These are beautiful shots of birds in flight. Perfect for sky watcher friday. Thank you for sharing.
