Gee Marilynne, they do just seem to pose for you. And the little chick begging for food is quite cute.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Ron. That was actually a really big yawn. I guess a little of grandpaw's Dr. Doolittle is rubbing off on me.

Rare to see both the male and female Painted Buntings feeding at the same time.

Two different Wood Storks

Almost got all of the wing tips in this one.

 

[Scott Murray]

Great shots, I am amazed you can get so close.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott. Some of the cormorants are use to folks hanging around. I've seen some one actually pet one, but I wasn't close enough for the shot.

When I first got my camera I saw a green Heron for the first time up here in NY. I didn't know what it was. I ended up writing to Cornell U. and found out. They are rare up here and also we get Egrets sometimes. Nice pics.

Thanks Clayton. They're fairly common around here. Cornell is a great resource.

Photo shoot with a Red Winged Blackbird - he stayed with me a long time. He even let people walk by us without spooking.
