    Excellent set Glenn. thumb.gif The snipe image is my fave.

    #3 sure looks like a snowy egret.

    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!

    There was some ice, and alot of the smaller catfish froze as well, which meant easy eating for all the birds.

    Very nice collection of pics Glenn. Hard for me to choose between the Savannah and the Snipe, but I really like them all.

    Very nice images! Cold? We don't have open water for a few more months. Now that's cold.
