Hey You'll,

Things are slowing down here lately. Maybe a group share of flight shots can get things rolling. Here's a few of mine from the beginning of the year.

a snowy 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!"

    49601237.jpg

    Way way too many egrets. I should just be happy with the birds I have and stop worrying about those raptors and fire breathing dragons. uhoh2.gif

    Let's see....I think there are some things for Harry. **reaches back into the bag of BIF**

    The right time...is the night time..eh party animals? How 'bout some of them night herons that Harry loves so much?

    Well...I've got another whole bag to go through.....but my arm's really tired. That's it for tonight. Besides....you are probably already thinking I'm a bird brain for posting so darn many BIF shots. Sorry. I was bored...really bored. :D

    Thanks for not falling asleep and looking.
