My New Year’s Resolution: Learn to photograph birds.
It’s somewhat easy to get a good photo when they are sitting (fairly) still on a branch, like this House Finch.

But when they are in flight, it’s not so easy. I managed to get a few photos of a White Heron in flight; just no photos that were worthwhile.

It's a long story ... 
White heron is sooooooo flying…delightful…abstract art with a camera!
That’s the right attitude! See the beauty in what is. Thank you.
I can understand how that would be diffcult.
