Shorebird Fest is here..........

[Markjay]

just like Egret fest Harry introduced to us but....
ya gotta post shorebird images. If you don't have any shorebird images, you are welcome to share your wading birds or water bird images as well. Images can be B & W or color. Lately, I've been doing alot of B & W nature images, 'cause customers are asking for them. I guess to some people, everything is black and white :-)

Have fun, here's one for ya...
I think I overdid the sharpening on the thumbnail sample, sorry.

Nice gull shot. I like the reflection off the wet sand.

They ain't egrets but we do need some variety (not too much though). http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/icon10.gif

Some of those are really cool, and the rest are way cool. Other than my wetlands birds, don't have any shore ones.

I am going to have to try some black and white, of the birds? I like yours alot.

This is the one I like, Harry. What great markings this bird has! I'll have to look up what species it is, unless you happen to know?

Thank you for sharing / participating!

This is the winner of the group, IMO. I like the shadow on the Egret and, I like the position the Heron is in, in relationship to the Egret.

Thank you for participating today and, DO display a few Daytona shots when time allows. I'm from the Tampa Bay area, Daytona's a bit of hike for me :-)
