Bufflehead (drake)
*Sorry for being mia, just back from a couple of family weeks in sunny Mexico


Beautiful shot of the drake bufflehead, Mark!
Red Wing Black Bird in the Morning Rain--here is another photo from this morning
Great shot of the red-winged blackbird trying to impress the ladies with his song and flashy colors, Rich!
White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike (Coracina papuensis
Lovely capture of the White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Pippan! Our Loggerhead shrikes sort of resemble this bird.
Fantastic portrait shot of this pair of beautiful Mandarin Ducks, swltr!
Very nice hen mallard shot, fotoi!
Taken @ Lake Myakka, a limpkin and a black-necked stilt together on the water and a sandhill crane in the 2nd shot.
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.
What a thrill it must have been to have this Harris's Hawk perch on his hand! Shot at an East Texas Camera Club event.


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