Thanks for the compliment Gregory. I think I saw their nest, but it is too far out for any meaningful shot. There are other nest (not in this particular area) but I do not think they are as numerous as last year. The whole bird population seems to be much lower this year.
I agree Larry, there are lots of birds if you hit the right spot, but on the whole, there as not as many as last year. It's always a hit and miss, they are here one day and gone the next. We haves millions of acres for them to roam, it's all about trying to figure them out and where they will be. I don't see very many nests, they tend to go deep into the back country to be seen. A lesson they learned from the plume thieves many years ago

Beautiful! You were right, the download was worth it. I've never noticed the bright blue around their eyes before.

Glad you liked the image DobiePower. When these guys get into their breeding plumage they really are very colorful.

Larry that is one fantastic download! Superb! lighting and clarity. I also viewed the website you suggest in your previous post, and must have spent at least a hour admiring those beautiful captures! Loved them! Especially the Glades captures, but all were outstanding!
