Seeing that it was such a beautiful sunny day, albeit cold for me, I thought it would be a good opportunity to try and capture the cockatoos in flight. Of course, none of them wanted to cooperate with me. I also took a few photos of the dogs chasing after the ball, but none of those really appealed to me. So it was back to the cockatoos. I had to laugh at this one who was walking along the fence railing and jumped down to the next level. Why fly when one can jump?

I was using my telephoto zoom on continuous shooting and automatic focus to try and capture the movement of the bird's wings as it was flying. Thankfully not all were blurred, although I certainly had a number that were. This one was taken just as the cockatoo was starting to take off. Such gorgeous birds.
