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!"

    Thanks Ben, I wish the woodstorks would nest lower in the trees so I could get a few captures before they grow so much.

    I like the whole set, but the cattle egret and the chick with the fish are my favorites.
