From my usual place, Kingsbury State Fish and Wildlife area, Kingsbury, IN. Two miles of utility poles, and normally turkey vultures, Cooper's Hawks, and Red-Tailed Hawks perch on top early in the morning as the sun rises. I don't see too many others, but I am happy with the ones that visit. I think Number Four was way off course. The property manager told me to look for an unusual looking bird that was in the area for about a week, and it was eating snails. Can anyone identify FOUR for me, please?
# 4 is a Green Heron. Lovely photos. :D:D
Fabulous set, Joe. Great detail in the downloads. Love that the green heron looks like a spider included her in his web.

Nice shots, Joe, particularly of the raptors. Based on the yellow patch in front of the eye, I am going to have to vote for Green Heron for #4 although it is very similar to the American Bittern. A side view might help clarify if you get another chance.
