That's a terrific flight capture here Bob... so nice to get such a group as that all together.

Many thanks for letting us see them my friend.

Robert, my wife said I lot of minks are getting the Corona Virus and are dying. I have never seen a mink. Be careful my friend as far as your birds you are natural on the causeway. You are always getting great shots.
