    Two definitely. Not so sure about the third. Great capture.

    I can't and don't want to find the birds: the face of the glacier is too beautiful and absorbs all of my attention.

    I don't see the one high, Baron. I see three low. Two definitely, one not so much.

    Is Larry taking every one for a ride (except CJ)?

    I agree with CJ that the picture of the glaciers is superb with or without birds & I think what are appearing as birds, are simply artefacts.

    I find the third one very near the top of the big hump of ice above the right-hand bird. It looks like a "V" and looks to be flying away from the camera, toward the glacier. With Larry's permission I will circle it...or Larry can do it.

    Thanks for the great replies..

    There are certainly hundreds of birds as you get closer.. from this distance, only those that were relatively close to me are visible..

    Here are the three I saw right away.. (probably helps to have the original data)

    Forget the bird! Those mountains and the glacier are awesome!! Gorgeous color! The clouds look really cool humping up over the peaks like that.

    I totally agree with The Baron.

    Can't believe I got them right. What a change from normal with these things.
