Another bird from my Florida trip. These guys are not easy to following in trying to get a decent shot, they always want to keep back in the weeds.

They are a challenge Louie and you did a great job when it went in the open for a moment. I love the last two.

This is my favourite bird. I've never gotten one in flight.

You have done well considering they are hardly out in the open.
