Hi y'all,

Usually I can find something to complain about in anything but I have to admit that 2006 was a pretty good year.

It really got going with the MI III shoot
56188808-O.jpg

61171767-O.jpg

Andy and Ian stopped by and I got my favorite spoonbill shots
58316776-O.jpg

From March through June the rookery provided many photo ops
62099803-O.jpg

Found a nice place where some eagles like to hang out
59380166-O.jpg

Lucked out and caught the elusive least bittern in the open
76670932-O.jpg

the limpkin chicks were a highlight
69272756-O.jpg

a trip to the Aquarium of Georgia produce some good shots
101646243-O.jpg

a bird convention at the wetlands was a fun event
78363369-O.jpg

83124472-O.jpg

the end of the year saw the eagles return to the wetlands
115774040-O.jpg

Have a happy new year and good shooting in 2007 y'all :beer

    I can't imagine thay you can produce even more amazing pictures than you did already. It have something to do with "love". Love for nature, love for photography. Keep on shooting!

    Glad you liked them Ben. I'm still recovering from the party, with luck I'll be dried out enough to start my 2007 shooting in the next few days. :slurp :slosh
