    My apologies for not approving your posts sooner Rob. Welcome to the forums.
    Both sets are very well done.
    There are two pips in a beaut,
    four beauts in a lulu,
    eight lulus in doozy,
    and sixteen doozies in a humdinger.
    Nobody knows how many humdingers are in a lollapalooza.

    Very good. You should be proud.

    These are some great images. I like the one of the "loon?" eating the bluegill best but all the images are fantastic

    Thanks all for the kind words! Have bunches more to post but will do in small portions.
    And the bird trying to eat the bluegill is a Neotropic Cormorant. Unfortunately he had to drop the fish...a little too big! Theres a large flock of them down here.

    Well, obviously, Rob you can shoot anything that flies (or wades for that matter). Excellent work.

    Excellent as usual, Rob. I really like the shot of the mallards you caught just at touchdown - gear down, full flaps, throttles back.
