Lovely capture of the White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Pippan! Our Loggerhead shrikes sort of resemble this bird.

Two terrific shots, Kirk! Was the Black-necked Stilt and the Limpkin remaining together, or were they just passing one another? It would be kind of odd it they were buddies.
I especially liked the shot of the Sandhill Crane. It's very sharp and lifelook looking.

Two terrific captures, Charles! The young man definitely looks pleased. And the close-up of the Harris's Hawk is tack sharp.

They were in close proximity of each other for a few minutes, both were looking for food and yes, the one simply crossed in front of the other. I see the limpkins and stilts hanging around each other all the time so apparently, they get along very well.
