Thanks Rosie,

Here is another one of the Egret.
Apparently, there were only small fish in that slough!

Love the look the Egret has... it's like he's looking at the fish in his beak in disgust at it's size

Oh yes, he easily out-fished us but I didn't get any good shots. I will be returning though (without my impatient fishing buddies)

love the BIF shots.
I still have to follow all the directions Frankman gave on shooting BIF's. I see that others already succeeded. Beautiful green heron.
I've only seen one here once, with lots of ornithologists around, since it is not domestic

I normally have to wait till the birds sits down somewhere

Here is a young godwit, just thrown out of the nest by his papa and mama:

Marvelous shots- love the Sea Eagle sequence and the Upupa Epops (never seen either before!).
I couldn't sleep so I went through old files deleting many MB (Prob a gig or two total) and came across a few I wanted to try to reedit using Lightroom (instead of PhotoShop about 2 years ago or so...)...
