About a mile down the road. This Loggerhead Shrike was willing to pose for me also.

It stayed until a lawn mower came around the corner and took off when I was trying to get out of the way.

Well.....hopefully you'll take the credit for sharing by your images what God has created. You do an awesome job. Makes me feel good knowing that you're there taking pictures of God's beautiful creations!

Walked over

These Limpkins flew by, then landed to close for a good shot with the Tamzooka

Best I could do without getting the rail in the shot

Went looking for them a few weeks back and didn't see any signs of them. Haven't seen the lady that was feeding them either.
