Hi Y'all,

I'm heading up to St. Augustine tomorrow and I'll be shooting there through Monday. I figured I would leave y'all with a few more shots from the rookery and with some luck maybe I'll be back with some better ones.

Harry you might as well not go if you're looking for better shots...you can't possibly beat these. (Did that alligator swallow your strobe??? I can see his tonsils!) :thumb

Thanks Jill, I love shooting the wood storks. There's always room for improvement. If there wasn't a chance to get a better shot there would be no reason to go out again.

Thanks, that gator really posed nicely, very unusual. The gators and crocs usually just lay around and do nothing (a lot like myself).

Thanks and I'll do my best, now what we really need is for the birds to cooperate and to do some nice posing.

Its amazing that cattle egrets are so uninteresting for 9 months out of the year but they get so interesting and animayed during their mating season.

Nah you don't mean that, although if we lived close to each
other I know we'd be some lens sharing fools :deal :D
