Nice shots Roy on the ones I could view. Some only showed up as half a photo. Most wouldn't let me click on like.

Congrats to Rebecca on her medals and also on signing the adoption papers.

other than a snake i have no idea, guessing 4-5 ft, not to thick around though, i had walked right passed it (within 3 ft) when i noticed the tail, pushed David out of the road and snapped away, first live snake i have seen (except pet stores), happy days for me, now onto that eagle......

i had to run around the lake inlet to get closer for the last shot, moving in closer when the blue heron chased it, he was sitting above her nest.

this is the heron's nest that the Eagle was above, i was about 1/2 mile away when i heard all the cormorants squawking as they took of, i turned around and saw what i thought was a hawk, after taking my first shot and zooming in to check it, i new it was an eagle, a quick run around to a better position, few more clicks then another run to get closer still, the heron came back and chased it, there must not be anything in the nest yet as the eagle didnt go down to it?
