I thought Harry and Birdman said all the Florida birds were in hiding. I don't think so.......I do however, being from California, need an ID on the two birds in the first picture?

    All three of those birds look very familiar to me. I just look out the back window to see them. :D Nice shots William. What's that brown and white bird that looks like an eagle. :uhoh rolleyes1.gif

    Good ones William. I was out on the river for first scheduled launch date but couldn't get out there on the 4th. :cry

    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!"

    Sorry you missed it Harry, but I'm sure you have seen it before. It was the one big firecracker that left me speechless.

    Thanks Nick. It's a wonder I got anything because I was so excited, but when the crowd's count down reached 1 I started shooting, so I got the entire sequence from the beginning, and I was very pleased that I did.

    Thank you Cinda, I wish you could have been here, but there is another at the end of August. It was worth all the effort to get here.
