Hi you'll

The Fish :fish has been getting kind of grumpy with all the egret shots I've posted so I figure I better get a non-egret shot up fast. I would like to point out that this feller's main dietary intake is, of course FISH. :rofl

    Hey Andy,

    Not to worry. The :fish is aces with me. he gets a bit testy but deep down he's actually a pussycat.

    That eagle and I are getting real friendly. He's agreed to make daily appearances as long as I provide him with, dare I say it? Fresh fish.

    I guess I'll just have to show you how to do a photo study of a portapotty. I'll try to get to it this week and dedicate it to ya, harry. nod.gif

    Theoretically, we've got bald eagles here too, but I've never seen one around.

    That is a really good eagle shot, Harry!

    Did you shoot up so you wouldn't get all the people in the photo? It is quite effective. I like it.

    Hey Trish,

    This was shot on the last day when the eagle came in right after sunrise and was lit beautifully from the eastern side of the tree. I'm usually shooting from the western side of the tree because I have always caught him during his afternoon visit.

    Hey Fish,

    Gosh a photo study of a portapotty in my honor! Wow! I'm humbled, I just don't know what to say. The tears are welling up as I type. :flush

    Its probably a good thing you have never seen a Bald Eagle considering their dining habits. :eat

    Let's have a port a potty challenge, put it over on other cool shots. We can decide how to pick the winner when we get there. It can be totally in honor of Harry. The Harryb challenge, or whatever you all would want.

    Now, Harry, we might also want to get a fish eating challenge started, too.
    We could put that right here. Anything/one who eats fish has to be wildlife.
    Or not. (probably healthy, too)

    I hope my bridge still has port a potties............gotta go, gotta go, gotta go!
    I love that ad on TV.

    Hey Ginger,

    I wish I had a great idea why I chose that angle but quite simply the eagle was on top of this 25 foot high dead tree and I was at the bottom. I only had one way to shoot the sucker.

    Thankfully, those are the only two porta-potty shots I have. I guess I
    could take more? Nah.
