Thanks. These birds are especially beautiful right now in their breeding season. I was glad to find one yesterday.

Very pretty, Betty ... He does look more flashy than the ones I saw in January. Full frame now, huh! Are you missing any reach yet?

Yes, but the IQ makes up for it. Just have to find a bigger lens I can afford! Actually plan to use this camera for landscapes or maybe bird portraits. Thanks for your kind comments, everyone.

Nice shot-one question though, is this the bird they used to call a Louisiana heron? Saw a very similar bird with that label in an encyclopedia 20 or so years ago, and haven't seen mention of a "Louisiana heron" since then.
