I had to walk the dogs, and incidentally found me some birds. Not as dramatic, but fun. Many more than in the summer. My dogs wouldn't chase them. I had to do it. ginger

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    See the Alhinga,or something, can't find the spelling, but otherwise known as the snake bird. I have never seen one of those in the ocean before, but then again, I didn't use to take morning walks.

    (Note that the coast is turning the "brown" color of winter)

    I didn't have my long lens on, had my versatile 28-135, so as not to miss the dogs, but I like this bird in context. I saw it out of the corner of my eye, thought maybe it was a dolphin as I had to wait for it to come back up. g

    This one is "wall worthy". Just a beautiful shot.

    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!"

    another good one
    This second pic is nicely composed also. I think the bird in question is a cormorant. It has about the same body length of an anhinga but its bill is slightly shorter and has a slight hook at its tip. Both are excellent swimmers.

    Pleasing compositon!
    Perhaps a tad on the bright side but pleasing nonetheless.
