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!"

    Great stuff, Harry. thumb.gif

    Hey Harry.. These shots are wonderful. How in the world did you get that mirror under those birds without them flying off. I've seen some calm days but "man" that is calm.

    Is that last shot a Cormorant. Looks like it but around here they have a big hook on the end of their beaks. You captured it perfectly.. but you missed him licking his lips afterwards, Laughing.gif.

    Thanks Ric. I was really happy with taht shot because that anhinga was just about completely backlit. I took around 25 shots and maybe two were decent.

    Wow, beautiful images
    I really like the first and last one best! I saw and caputred my first rosette spoonbill last month out at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. But I didnt capture any thing close to yours.

    Thanks and that "weed" is one of those accursed wild flowers they spent all that grant $ on. They look OK but we don't have an unobscured view anymore. :cry

    Thanks, glad you liked them. Spoonies are best shot in the subdued lighting of early morning or late afternoon. The harsh light of mid-day washes out their colors.

    He was extremely backlit. I have several shots of Anhingas with their catches and they manage to be backlit everytime.
