I decided to go and check on the ducklings...they are fine.

I also decided that evening at the WL is VERY nice! Birds Birds and more birds!

A sampling:

Hey Trish,

You must have got there today right after I left. I got a numer of shots of that spoonbill also. I saw the chicks but they were too far away to shoot. I saw one of the BBW parents run off a Little Blue and a Tricolor Herons when they got too close.

The last pic is a Glossy Ibis. Good shots. :thumb

....I thought the birds seemed a little aggitated:rofl The light was perfect until a wall of cloud decided to block any hope of a sunset shot:dunno

i shot the BBWD from afar and the parents are definately on high alert. I met a nice gentleman out there..hopefully you will bump into him one of these days..although i believe he mostly shoots evenings. His name is Dick from Montana..lives here now..He was trying out his 200-400 for the first time... nothing like that "new lens smell"...damn...I want one! Hope you have only perfect weather before your Surg. day..of course you know i will be more than happy to help you out and take that 500mm out each day...just so it doesn't collect mold or fungus or something...:rofl
