    These images are really well done Jim. The Ibis is really neat in that I don't get to see any of those in my neck of the woods.

    Hi Gordon...

    They don't typically fly in and set down in front of me...they are rather spooky!

    There is a group of about a dozen that is feeding at my local stomping grounds and what I do is hide upwind of them around the little point. Somebody always stops to see them and when I get lucky...they fly in front of me when they move :)

    I like all the photo, but #2 is the one I like the most it look like a painting of Audubon. Superb job Jim.

    Hi Keith

    I kinda liked the Least tern...they are cute, but boy are those suckers FAST!

    A 600 would have been nice for those guys..plus a TC of course!
