I noticed that the neck of this Snowy Egret did not look natural.
I hope (s)he's getting rid of this "thingy" before it get rid of the Egret.

Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy the pics.

    Nice job on the owls
    The light seems much better. Amazing they are sitting there "posing" for you.

    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!"

    The first owl shot is very nice. Not too sure what to say about the egret although it certainly didn't look like it was in distress. Probably a frog in its throat. rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks you all for looking and the comments. thumb.gif

    I feel always very fortunate when I have a nice find like this owl and can't wait to show it to the locals who are too busy to peek at anything. They're always amazed and sometime in unbelieve that so many animals live on Aruba.
