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!"

    Way to stay with 'em, Harry! clap.gif

    I have never had an entirely clean sequence this close like this. bowdown.gif

    Oh....BTW, I don't think I've ever seen one with the blue color in the area adjacent to the eye. Always lime green to yellowish for me.

    real nice set Harry [must be that lens:D] but I have to agree with Ric [darn it] less blue . Must have been a fun day to have that angle on a take off thumb.gif

    Thanks Ric, the wetlands offers unmatced photo ops to capture these types of sequence at fairy close distances.

    That groovy blue breeding coloration is jsut another reason to come on down to Florida.
