That's a strange mix of birds. Nice images and I'm wondering why you left the feet off

Thanks for your comment. This area, Wakodahatchee Wetland is a nesting ground with 200 plus Woodstorks, 30 or so Great egrets, a few Snowy Egrets, a few Cattle Egrets and some anhingas from time to time, plus a few gators.
Thanks, Brian

Thanks Morris for your question. Basically this is a wetland and birds feet are often hidden but these photos are on top of a nesting tree or bush and contain out of focus twigs and tree branches that make the photo look sloppy and distracting, so I choose to crop them out and the feet with them. It is also hard to see the feet among the branches and twigs, see photos below.
Thanks Brian

Yes it does get very crowded on the boardwalk during nesting season, glad you got a kick put of it.
