And not an egret among them.

I shot all of these this morning. All in the wild. I know they are not all great, but what the heck.

    Hey Brian,

    The unknown duck is a Hooded Merganser. You got some good captures. I liked the muskrat and the pheasant shots. thumb.gif Sorry that you couldn't get an egret. A day without an egret is like a day w/o sunshine. yelrotflmao.gif

    Hey Brian,
    Nice set. I really like the Pheasant. The fence and the OOF background compliment the bird nicely.

    I agree, the wire pattern of the fence contrasts nicely with the colors of the pheasant and the OOF grass tufts in the background. Very nice image. Looks like you had a very productive morning, Brian.

    Very nice. I am so jealous about the owl. I guess we had one around here, and I missed it. The ospreys chased it away.

    And I shot 50 blurred shots of ospreys today.

    ginger, i do like the pheasants, too, the ducks, lots of them.........
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Thx for the comments everyone.

    I had a great morning, the pheasant topped it off. I was on my way back home and he?she crossed the road in front of me, I pulled into a driveway and got off three shots while it was on the fence, then my CF card was full. I tried to change the card before it dropped down into the grass but didn't make it..

    I was really pleased with that one when I downloaded it
