A very rare sighting, especially over Mare Island. I'm over here in Marin and the bird migration has been spectacular! Yours is heavenly. I saw a YouTube with these soaring beautiful patterns. Was that yours? Anyway neighbor, nice to meet a like minded photographer who lives close by. Beautiful work!
Artist Reply: Thank You Seth my Artistic Friend for your Very Nice compliments about this work. I'm so glad You like it. I Enjoy Viewing Your Work as Well
It is great to see, but a pitty you did not have a bigger picture in which you might see which birds these are. I know we have the sparrow and the starling making their waves to protect themselfs, because of a falcon or other bird that is around
