It has been very slow around here lately. I did manage to get a few shots though.

5. This Red-shouldered Hawk has been keeping an eye on my bird feeder. Haven't been as many squirrels lately.

    That's a nice neighborhood. I live in a concrete jungle, and the only thing I see is pigeons. Hahaha. Beautiful set!

    Thanks! Well if you have pigeons you most likely have peregrine falcons too!

    My egret is actually a blue heron. I used a bit too much bleach when I tried to rinse him! rolleyes1.gif

    Good set Glenn, once the nesting season is over business should pick up.

    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 Ric! The white morph GBH was a new bird for me otherwise I would have passed on this shot because of the harsh light.
