Thanks, Dick. :D

I do like all the creatures.....but really I am more of an opportunist. That is. I take what comes along. I have no patience to sit in a blind or linger for a long time in any one place. I think that stems from my type "A" personality.:rolleyes

Very nice captures, Ric. I particularly like the mellow, late-afternoon/early evening light on the second shot. Good work.
