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!"

    Wow. Great series. I especially like the ibis and tri-colored heron at sunset!

    Thanks Stephen, I like the sunrise shots too. I have to get out early again and try to get some more.

    Thanks Nancy, I'm happy with the GBH shot because with all the shots I've taken of them very few have been satisfactory due to the crappy shooting conditions (light and obscurement).

    Hi Harry.. I was going to pick a couple but that wouldn't be fair, they are all very well done. You know me and how I like detail so I really like #2, 3, 4. #5 I won't comment on, not because of the birds because they are beautiful, but because of all that green stuff they are standing on..rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Things are slowing down here now too because its atng season and many of the locals are off to rookeries.

    Those 12 egrets are a sign that
    EGRET FEST is coming. Its like that ole song "The Twelve Egrets of Egret Fest". :ivar
