Super shots
the eyes on 3 and 4?????

If I remember the picture I posted of our man in action...he was using a Better Beamer. So is this the bird version of "redeye"?

Good stuff Chris!

Good to see these Chris. Sorry I missed that part of the weekend. Curious about the eyes in those 2 pics also.

Nice job, Chris, these are nice and sharp.

I'm pretty sure Mason is right about the eye shine (having experienced it in plenty of my own shots :redface.

Excellent shots Chris!

It might be, Never shot one with a flash.
Owls have yellow eyes and they will turn green or red... (demon) eye:>)))

Very nice, especially considering the light, or relative lack thereof that we had.

I'm glad you liked them.

Shots 3 and 4 are of the rare voodoo witchdoctor heron. When they see photographers, their eyes roll to the back of their head, making them look white. Then they cast a spell that brings forth bad weather and crappy lighting.

The only way to catch these guys is with a flash and a better beamer. Otherwise, they look like normal herons.

Good images Chris. I wish I had made that trip out to the dam.

WOW! Wonderful shots! I still can't get over how easy it was to photograph those birds from last summer! Great job there!
