    They're all spectacular, Jody... number 4 is my fave!! were you actually in the lake to get that perspective? bet the National Audubon Society would be interesting in that one!!

    Were these taken on the same day, or spread out over a certain period?

    Thanks! I was lying on the ground with my head resting on the ground. I was as close to the water as physically possible. :)

    These were taken over 2 days.

    Excellent series! There is not a photo I do not like :D Photo number 1 is awesome! You caught the shot at the perfect time! I also like the RWBB, for the expression on its face and nice green background make the photo very interesting, not to say this bird is a personal favorite mwink.gif I think the flower macro is swell as well! I really like the yellow in the petals, almost reminds of a really ripe bannana! Nice work!

    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!"

    Out of all these great shots, I really like the Eastern Kingbird. It has a great perch. The fact that it is slightly looking back makes it more interesting and the composition is very nice.
