Nice work!

I like the Bittern and headturn on the Grebe. I think I may have gotten that same Bittern Friday. The markings look the same. I also got some good shots of both of the Red Shoulders you mentioned perched on a dead tree. One was bigger than the other so I know they were two different birds. One posed for me until I got tired and left.

Thanks Ron, Patti, John & Jim.

Jim...Probably the only one out there, so most likely the same one. There are definitely two different Red-shouldered Hawks more than willing to sit and pose on that dead tree. If you are patient they do feed out of 40 Acre Lake, swooping down to grab some food. That usually happens after I've run out patience.

10-4 on the Cloudy WB. It is on the warm side with Nikon's too! That's cool. Terrific post!
