    Great pics. Fights over food or territory often results in injury to one or both of the combatants. Fine job......thumb.gif

    Those are great captures Carlo! It sounds like you had a good time with lots of birds. It is a fantastic area. isn't it? Getting pictures of 80 species is quite an accomplishment and if they are anything like these you have done very well!

    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!"
