It was the first time in several years that we had been out there. It made for a good day out.

Nice set jbird.

Thanks everyone. I missed “the shot” on the way in. There was a herd of wild pigs on the way in and the camera was still in the case.

Nice variety. Looks like a good day out.

Nice variety. Looks like a good day out.

It really was a good day. There was at least 100 coots, gallinules and black bellied whistling ducks there. We saw about 26 species that I could identify

Thanks Randy, I have photographed quite a few in the past a different locations. It is the first one that I have really been pleased with. I think the reason it turned out so well was the angle of the sun. It was still relatively early that morning.

Nice mix of birds from a great refuge!
