These are happy photos. The bright colors and that humorous Red Winged Blackbird bring a smile to my face! Well done.

Sharp shot of a beautiful bird. Well done.

Excellent series. That place is an absolute gem.

Cute, Jerry.

This is mesmerizing, Linda. There's no need to really understand it - just enjoy the exploration.

Precious series, Tom. I think your Gorilla was getting tired of posing by the last shot.

The first shot feels free and refreshing. That's an ineresting shot of the oyster shell. I'm glad you identified it. Very nice, creative series. Well done.

Very nice shots. I love the woodpecker. It is similar to some we have here. The quail would be a rare find here but that on is a beauty.

I only saw a few birds other than Egrets but here is a sampling.

Earlier in the winter there are literally hundreds of assorted ducks. This time I saw very few but at least these were close in. Grebes and Mallards.

Roseate Spoonbill. I think this is a young one.

Thank you, Frank. Birds and flowers are my thing. I remember laying on my stomach in the grass using extension tubes to photograph tiny flowers (weeds). Now I would have trouble getting back up!

Thank you, Ron.

Thank you. The bird your looking for is in the first shot on the far left. I didn't notice it when I was there but it look like he just took flight. He is still very low. Maybe just shifting positions. As for the invisible one, I missed it too.

At that age I don't guess birds were my thing either.

That sounds like fun, Frank. I'm glad you liked the photos and memories.

Thank you for taking a look. It is a great place.
