These Cattle Egrets are so abundant, that you have to be careful not to run over them in your car. They are, however, very photogentic.

The Storks also seem plentiful, with their young

    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!"

    What's a stork ever done to you? I think the babies are rather cute. Thanks Cinda, the late afternoon light does add an interesting look.

    Thanks Harry, I'm always so concerned about good lighting, that I forget about late afternoon light which can also be interesting.

    Thanks Ben, I have so many shots, that I won't be able to post them all. Of course that could be a god send, since all are not that good. Sorry to make you jealous, but it was not all play. I was very pleased to find so many birds after our dry spell here, and only wish the Fla. boys would send us a few from their back yards. :D:D:D
