I got shots of three new species this morning. Very happy. The Skimmer isn't a great shot (low, cloudy light and high ISO), but it's a start.

they are great captures. In fact, I dont think the noise makes the last pic any "worse".

Nice captures ScubaDude, I think all three are great! I really like the Little Blue Heron shot, I've only seen them a few times but couldn't get close enough for a shot this good. Congratulations on the Hat-trick.

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.
