No Falcons today. Just herons and egrets. There were 1/2 a dozen egrets and a ton of herons there today.
I blew out the whites on the egrets, so the pics with them have been
converted to B&W. The pics are only so-so. Tough time of the day to shoot.

canon 300D, sigma 80-400os.

    Thanks Luckydog.

    I like the toe in the water also. There were a lot of young herons there on
    that day, and it showed the way that some of them flew.

    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!"

    Thanks Harry.
    That was a popular spot. One heron would move out, another would move right in.
