    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!"

    very nice indeed! if these behave anything like the Virginia Rails we have here, they're elusive as can be, and hard to even catch a glimpse of in the open, much less good photos! these look just like the Virginia Rail, except the latter have no blue on them... they're all brown.

    Nice series, Carlo--I love the color of blue on that bird. #2 is my favorite because of how its face is lit. Best, Pam

    water rail is very secretive and is very wary

    Beautiful bird. Nice detail and colors. You need to convince him to move out into the open with a nice BG :D
