Hello folks. I worked up some more pics from MIV. Still a long way to go but thought I'd share some of the latest images.

Thanks for looking.

    Very nice set, Mike. Enjoyed them all but #5 does it for me. Now get back to work and PP some more of your catch so we can enjoy them.

    Excellent set Mike. clap.gif It was a shame that we didn't have good light for that young reddish egret.

    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!"

    I didn't know there was a "mission impossible V"
    Great series Mike! The first cormorant, and the spoonbill are my favorites in this set!

    Thanks Harry. Don't know what it is with Reds and me? Always find them in poor light. I have not had a single "sweet light" op with them yet. Grrr.headscratch.gif
