GP, I'm so pleased you're enjoying it. I'm having a ball sharing some of our birds with you.

I had a great afternoon at the swamp and will share some pics with you all.

The Nankeen Night Heron was standing as still as a statue until a golf ball from the course that abuts the swamp lobbed right by him. Talk about a delayed reaction, though. It was probably a full ten seconds before he realized that his peace had been shattered. This shot shows his elongated feather.
