Mary, those are great shots....they are 'frozen' in flight!

I caught this guy settling down at sunset, at Hutchison Island, Fla.

Ahhh...very cool.

Anna Maria...north of Bradenton beach.

I wish I knew you were going.
I know of some really cool secret spots to explore just moments from where you were at.

Nice pics.;)

[MM03MOK]

Thanks. We found them at the northern tip of the island...we were just exploring and I couldn't resist. Breaking in the new lens.

Nice, Joe!

Great shots. I suck at stopping birds in the air. :(

Who says?
You haven't posted any yet.:P

Hey Mary...these shot not 40 miles from where you were at last fall.

The first would have been 'cover of the National Geographic' takes with that new lens of yours.
I can just imagine.
