These are all great - I've never seen a snowshoe hare. Guess they don't like the Texas heat.:rolleyes The bird pics are terrific.

Thanks Cinda!

It's also the first Snowshoe Hare I've knowingly seen, but then this only my second winter here in Ottawa. :)

Thanks for the kind words Stephen. It's a nice feeling when you go out shooting and see that for once the results aren't too bad. :)
