Hey guys! Well once again ive been away for a while but i simply had to share these recent captures. I finally went to visit this wildlife wetlands up in West Palm called Green Cay, thanks to Alex Paul's advice. Got up and got there before dawn, and wow what a place, saw tons of stuff and added several birds to my life list i had wanted to get for a long while. Here are the Heron friends i made that day.

Nice set of images Billy. #4 is simple, yet quite stunning. I like the contrast between the bird and that green background...tom
