So that's how you birders do it...very interesting bird picture story...From start to finish, you had me anxiously waiting in anticipation as each photo unfolded to it's own merits.

They all are a story to itself, last one being, the neatest sets of feathers in a majestic wingspan...

Thanks for sharing...

Nice shots!. I really enjoy seeing the Reddish Egrets.

nice shots billy i will be buying the 300 this week. I have a huge bump on my head from the am birding experience. My knee is pretty sore too. Tim

Excellent series.

Wow...excellent series. The third shot is my favorite.

Thanks for the comments everyone

Keith, like the new avatar, its like the sun went through the hoop. cool shot.

Excellent series of shots, love the various colours of the shots and though the reddish egrets are very good shots and a beautiful bird, I think the third shot is an excellent close up of the White Ibis, nice ones well done.

Great captures, especially the third shot, can you please ID the bird

that is a white ibis. they are fairly common here. but this one let me get really close to him (that was taken with my 70-200, so i was right on him)

thanks for the comments.

Great series Billy. Wonderful captures of the reddish egret. It's a fact that the early birdder gets the shot.

You have taken some excellent shots here Bill, but my favorite one has to be the last one, I like the transparentness of the feathers, great shots

Good looking shots, #3 is my favorite

These are very nice shots - well done! The last one is my favorite - love the light coming thru.
