Sand Hill Crane
These magnificent birds are known for a very distinct call which can be heard for miles away. They're also quite tall and quite beautiful

Killdeer
Spotted Sandpiper
Walking and drinking at the same time- see those little drops of water dropping from his beak?

Shot from my couch

Fly Eagle Fly
Catching perfect focus on fast-moving, small targets is tough, but it still turned out pretty well
