Well, you have some good ones, Bill. The cormorant may have a dinner bigger than he is. Love the reddish egret pose, and glad to see the northern harrier. I'm headed to the Everglades and hope to see birds we don't have in my area.

@spaker1
Thanks, hope you have a successful trip; the bittern, green heron, and cormorant were all from the 'glades.

@talshadar
Thanks,
here is a 100% crop, no sharpening

Very nice shots, #2 and #3 especially are gorgeous! Seeing these motivates me to get out and try for some good bird shots myself.

Some very nice shots there with the cormorant standing out for me. Pose in #8 is well captured.
