coulda been a great shot had it not been for those lame branches in my view... shot this the day I met Jeeperman. Of course, the Jeep had holstered his weapon of choice when this raptor came in low under radar... even after many, "INCOMING!! INCOMING!!" cries from Momo, the Jeep stood motionless... I think he was paralyzed. :D

Thanks James and Bobo. Great images everyone, keep them coming.

Now a question for Bryan...where in the Mid-West USA did you find a Spoonbill sitting in a Cypress tree?

With all these wonderful shots appearing in this thread before this post, I feel a bit inferior. Just getting into birds a bit and thought I would share one or two of mine anyway.

Great shots Dave...the first three birds are very similar or the same to birds that I see in Florida. Below is a Snowy Egret I shot in February but just post processed this morning.

Thanks Joe. Egrets are quite elegant looking birds aren't they.
