    Very nice, especially love the Purple Gallinule.
    Think your sparrow is a female Red-winged Blackbird though.

    Wow! Stunning images. Especially like the purple gallinule.......something I've never seen. Background on the heron is really nice too.

    Okay, I like them all, but especially 3, , 6, 7, and 8. Really a great series when I can't narrow it down to fewer than 4 favorites! Great job!

    Too many good ones to pick just one or two. Looks like you had a very productive time.

    We do have some really nice birds down here.

    Terrific shots, Keith. Your teal shots and the blackbird have a real painterly feel to them. Anything special on the processing? The hawk shots steal the show though. thumb.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!"
