Good shots Mac. You sure got some funny lookin' birds there.
The secreatary looks like it can't make up its mind if its a hawk or heron.
The last one looks like something out of Looney Tunes.

Nice shots, Mike. I especially like #3. The last one looks like some kind of stork but I don't think its native to North America.
