    I really like the way the bird wings line up in the first shot. They could almost be the same bird clap.gif

    Andy, Andy, Andy. Its a black-crowned night heron not a black-shouldered night heron. Amateurs.

    Good shot but those night heron shots are getting a bit over done. Couldn't you have found a nice egret? Also you only get credit for a double BIF if both birds are in focus. Hate to be so strict but rules are rules. rolleyes1.gif

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
