Congratulation on your rare find, Steve! Very nice set with photos that have a special meaning for you.
Good to see you posting
Socrate
Much appreciated, Socrate my friend! As I mentioned above, I've been "hanging out" with the local birder crowd, so it's nice to be able to document their rare sightings with photos that go beyond mere "docu-shots". And if I get a bit of a reputation in the bargain, well, all the nicer...

Congrats Steve, he sure wasn't going to make it easy for you!!! Looks like you bored the herons in the last one! Cool set of things we don't see a lot of

Thanks Tim -- yeah, I had to really work for that BHVI as we didn't know if he was a "One Day Wonder" or not. (Turn out not; he's been seen daily since, and may stay the winter). Yeah, I guess the herons are getting bored with all the attention -- "Just another guy with a Big Lens; we've been seeing more than our share of that lately"...

Awesome set man!
Thanks Conrad! Perhaps they're not as spectacular as your phenomenal pics, but the "spectacular" is in the rarity of the birds themselves, and if I can do a good pic for documention, well, then I'm a Happy Camper.
It was a great opportunity, and I'm just glad I had a camera/lens combo that was up to the task.
