Critique: CC:

Caught these three in one of my favorite haunts on campus.

#1 Red saddlebags

#2 Roseate skimmer female, I believe (wish I'd been able to jack up the ISO some more; unfortunately, the Nikon D300 is not good at high ISO and it was a little too dark in the creek bottom where this one was perched )

#3 Roseate skimmer male
