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!"

    Nice series Harry. I've had a little tri color showing up in a neighborhood pond every morning this week. Neat birds. That eagle shot...well...let's just say you are going to make me hop on the bike and drive a long way. :D

    Hey Mike,

    I love tricolors, they are an excellent subject. I have had a number of visiting shooters coming through and some of them are leaving with their first eagles shots. This eagle has been pretty regular so far. if she keeps to her current schedule you should get some knock out shots of her.

    Merry Christmas, Harry!!! The photos are excellent. I particularly liked the Merssengers (sp), as I am after them this year, too. I ignored them last year, so this year I am after them.

    Your photo surpassed, barely, mine, so far. But I was lucky to get what I did on a grey day when I was sick! Sat out over the water and tried to pick off the few birds who came near..............and some that didn't.

    Your bird photos this time are excellent. My fave is the group shot, I mean the flock shot. I am still trying to get one.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
