    Harry,
    I always enjoy your humor and the quality of your shots.

    Don't let any of these bozos tell you they don't Luv iloveyou.gif Your Birds 'cuz they secretly wish they needed a caddy like yours to carry around those beautiful lenses!

    Sure, Egret Fest.

    I got 2 more months of snow to go through before I see an Egret.
    12 inches over the past weekend, 8-18 inches on the way.

    Egret Fest, Phttttttt.:thwak

    Boy are you lacking that good ole egret fest spirit. I did say that old and favorite egret shots were cool.

    I don't blame you though, If I had to live in Minnesota I would be a tad testy too.

    Thanks Mike, everybody loves birds. They fall into two categories, those who know they like them and those who haven't realized that they like them yet. :lol4

    I said, new pics, old pics and favorite pics. Geez, that's not so hard. If we only did new pics our friends up north would be left out and EGRET FEST is for everyone, no matter how geographically disadvantaged they are. :D

    A couple of mine..
    While I continue to dream of one day getting an egret or heron shot that is half as good as many I see here.... I'll post a couple I've taken in the last couple of weeks..

    This guy was watching the sunset.
    132834594-L.jpg

    A couple of weeks ago, he got tired of me pointing the camera his way and headed up to the top of this old restaurant..
    132835126-L.jpg

    And this weekend, I caught this heron while down at the small craft harbor at home..

    I missed that part about "old and favorite". Probably due to the white out conditions.
