Took some more shots of these little birds last week. I think it's hard to appreciate how small these guys are by just looking at the pictures. They only stand about 3-4 inches off the ground. Average length is 6 in.

    Really nice Steve thumb.gif Love the triple reflection and I agree that your "down low" perspective adds a lot to these shots clap.gif

    Thank you for your comments Steve, Jeff, Ginger and JC. It was not easy kneeling down in the mud to get as even as possible with these guys. Had to clean up my tripod after getting home mwink.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!"
