Hi Neal...it's been awhile. Glad to see you're back. Very nice shot of the grey heron. The lighting is absolutely beautiful.

Crack'in close up shot of the black swan, Neal! The sharpness and detail are spot on.

Thank you very much Mike, appreciate the comments and kind words as always.

Thank you, and for the ID as well. :-)

You're welcome. They are the cutest little ducks. (The smallest dabbling duck in North America!) :-) The first time I saw one at a local lake, I thought it was a baby American Black Duck. :-)

Really nice shot, Jimmy! I like his one legged pose. There is a stern look about him.

What a beauty, Mark! This Redshank's reflection in the still water is so cool looking! It's legs and bill are really brilliant.

A Redo of my recent shot of a 'great blue heron at first light'. I rushed the 1st pic and didn't notice the whites being too heavy.

I like this this shot, Kirk! The whites look great, and of course that first light is always so cool.

Fantastic shot, Paul! It looks like the Anhinga is purposely holding up his prize catch so you can get a photograph of it. :lol:

Thank you Mike.
We were so relived to see the little bumblebees made-it through that Hurricane.

That Anhinga was a happy camper.
It tenderized that fish by beating it against a tree trunk for 10 minutes.
Thanks again.Happy trails.
