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 think the anhinga beat the eagle this time in the bird on a stick category! mwink.gif

    Never tire of shots like these, Harry. thumb.gif

    Nice work, Harry thumb.gif . You even made the Anhinga look good. I've always thought they were one of the ugliest things going.

    Anhingas, ugly???? I love shooting anhingas, they are almost always a very interesting subject. If you want ugly I would have to go with wood storks.

    Thanks for stopping by. wave.gif
