Hi Y'all,

Recently I had some free time so I ventured forth into our harsh winter.

the comorants were having a convention

the harrior was still hanging out

a redish egret was looking for lunch

the wood storks have been regulars

a change of pace

snowies always provide some interesting captures

You knocked?

believe it or not this is a blue-winged teal :D

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!"

    Harry, glad you ventured forth. Nice captures and captions.

    This second pass of winter is getting to be too much. But not as bad as things up NYC way.

    Harry, looks like killing time was well spent. Love the Snowy image, really love these birds when I was down there last fall.

    Thanks Jim. The cold is Ok but the dreary light of late isn't.

    Harry, I'm hoping you've recovered sufficiently from your bout with the weather.

    You've got some great pictures here!
