Thank you

Thank you everyone

Found a small pond with a bunch of baby birds - it's that time of the year I guess. This one looks like he was sent out for take out for the family!

Thank you, and oops! Luckily the admins moved my last three into the Photo Gallery. Thank you! I will be more careful in the future.

I was photographing a Anhinga fishing, and this guy landed, saw a bunch of people with cameras and flew off and hid in some plants. I tracked him down and shot this:

Thanks, no, LOL! I think he "jumped" a little when the Anhinga rushed out, he looks fairly blurred in the full crop.

There were 5 or six turtles there, a Great Blue Heron landed for a moment, noticed all the people and flew off and hid in some plants in the next pond. I will post a photo of him next.

Unexpected capture. I had to react fast, I was not expecting this anhinga to be eating here, there was an alligator, a bunch of turtles, and 5 or six people on a bridge photographing it all. The Anhinga went behind some bushes. then suddenly came out and flipped the minnow up. Lucky for me I was shooting the turtle and when I saw the Anhinga dip down to flip the minnow I fired a burst instead of a single shot I planned. Sadly, I was at F4 and so the minnow go out of focus before it's tail.

Two images, first is full crop, second is tight crop so you can see the minnow better.

Thank you, I normally don't like it either. I am trying to find myself so to speak. So, experimenting with different styles.

Thank you, and yes, Rice Paper Butterfly! Good eye.
