    I see you and I share the same devil bird! Even when I was down at Aransas I couldn't get a good pic; however, if I had yours I'd be happy. Nice light and perch. Your other shots are very nice as well. I really like the BCNH.

    The kingfisher is my nemesis bird. Still high on my hit list. Your last shot here is stunning. Love it.

    Good set Ben. It only took me 3 years to get a decent KF shot and even then I had to crop the heck out of the shot.

    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!"

    Yeah I like the light thru the wings and the pose, but not crazy over the bluish cast on the back ne_nau.gif
