A couple great shots of the snowy egret, EB! I like the flight poses in both s=of them. Nice work.

Mike you get some truly amazing BIF photos, one recently really stood out and it received many positive and highly deserved comments.

This one really is a beauty. A real action photo.
It's flying towards you so obviously you didn't alarm it but it certainly has an interesting expression

This is a Bob white I photographed this morning in Central Florida.
He sat on a fence post then just too off. This is what I got.

Based on what I see on the All About Birds site, I think you may be correct. One of the images they have looks almost identical to my shot (just sharper) and the range map says they are in my area year round.

Beautifully captured, Rob.

These are a couple of really nice captures, John. I've taken numerous swallow photos, but never have I been able to photograph them at their nest sites. Great work.

Your comments are so rewarding, Richard! I truly thank you, and appreciate each and everyone of them (this comment especially)! The goose in this shot was coming in to his group of buddies, announcing his arrival.

Thank you EB. He may very well be sticking his tongue out at me,:lol: but he's also announcing his arrival to others on the water.
