Hard to get that kind of feather detail on a white bird in bright sunlight,...at least for me, good job.

Very nicely captured, Kirk! These birds are quite attractive. I wish we had some of them out here in California.

Thanks!! I got lucky. I was in a large open NWR hiking on the paths surrounded by canals and saw some activity in one of the mangroves, looked like a few mockingbirds. As I got closer I realized one of the "mockingbirds" was a shrike and he had JUST caught this hornet. And he was at eye level!!!

Very nice, K9Kirk.

What are conditions like in the Bradenton area now post-hurricane? Is it OK for tourism?

Thanks! Bradenton didn't get hit hard so it's ok but cities south of us are still feeling the effects of Ian. Myakka River State Park in Sarasota is still closed, I can image a lot of the huge, old trees fell down across the road.

Handsome little duck, even in winter plumage. I like the color in this shot. It works well with this bird.

Some think that their features are unattractive, but I admire the purpose-driven structure of their face. We should thank the vultures for cleaning up our roadways !
