Lovely coverage, excellent quality. The feeding and breeding behavior bring it to another level. Can't recall ever seeing a picture of one dinning on lobster. Thank you
Phil
Thanks very much, Phil. In this lake, there isn't much fish but there are lot of crawfishes.

For such a pretty bird, they look quite comical when they get all puffed up and stretch their neck way up (#5). This is a stellar set Tam. Great poses and action. Very enjoyable viewing.
Thank you very much, Men. Glad that you like these. :-)

Very nice action Tam, you captured the mating dance and antics wonderfully!!! The white balance looks a bit odd in some of these, a bit cool. Maybe warming them up would make them that much better
Tim
Thank you very much, Tim. I sure will look at the white balance and warm it up as you suggested. :-). Very much appreciate your feedback, Tim

Wonderful set of these amazing, funny birds, Tam. You sure captured a nice variety of poses and activity. Too many good ones to pick favorites. Well done!

Tam these are over the top buddy! What perfect light you had and what amazing poses you captured at that magical low to the water level. Images 1-20 have a slightly better look of contrast to them over the final 21+ images.
I'm sorry, I would like to pick a favorite but every time I start it multiplies! Super outstanding set, extremely well presented
