A fine series Bruce! Of course the dragonfly is my favorite...I almost went to my secret area to shoot some dragons yesterday but the wind was blowing early and I went to a shady area out of the breeze to hunt some stuff.

Terrific shots Bruce! I don't know if the little blue in the first two shots is the same bird, but if he is, he's certainly eating well, particularly with that giant crawfish! The green heron shots are fantastic.

Thanks, all. There sure is plenty of food out there right now. The trail is littered with leftover claws! The greenie was next to the tower. Too bad its getting sticky now. Still beats August, though....

Very nice series, Bruce. Those crawdads and bullfrog tadpoles sure take a hit with those birds out there.

Thanks, Jimmy. Lighting can be a bit tricky for these guys, but if you wait a bit, they'll move into position for you....

Thanks, for all the props, gang...

I like the White Ibis in flight the best. These birds don't get the recognition they deserve.
They are so tranquil and non aggressive.
Very nice series, Bruce. I didn't want it to end.
