Hi Andy,
great shots...Lots of drama with that second bird blurred

I still have not mastered the bif...I keep trying.

Andy,
These came out really well

thumb I'm sure Harry is gonna love em

I really like the way the bird wings line up in the first shot. They could almost be the same bird

I hope we get some decent weather tomorrow

See ya then

Steve

Andy, Andy, Andy. Its a black-crowned night heron not a black-shouldered night heron. Amateurs.

Good shot but those night heron shots are getting a bit over done. Couldn't you have found a nice egret? Also you only get credit for a double BIF if both birds are in focus. Hate to be so strict but rules are rules.

Terrific compo!

Looks like a good way to avoid radar detection!

Andy · June 17, 2005
