I really like both of these shots, Pippan! However, I'm having a difficult time counting the shorebirds in the first photo. I keep losing track.

Great shot, Paul! the last hurricane is certainly causing this guy and others a bunch of extra work rebuilding.

Little egret

Cool looking perspective, RAL! I like the water droplets coming off the little egret.

Beautiful hen mallard flight capture, Jose! The flight pose is unique, and attractive. I like the color throughout the entire image.

This shot is absolutely stunning, Paul! I don't think I've seen any other flight shots of Painted Buntings before.

Lol, however many are in the photo you could multiply that by about 50 for how many were on the beach!

Thank you Mike.
Hopefully the Eagle will be laying eggs soon.
Last year they raised 2 successful Juveniles.

Thanks for the kindly compliment Mike.
Usually those colorful Painted Buntings are extremely shy.
It was a lucky photo opp. That Male was a real poser.
Happy trails.
