I love #1. The DOF is great and the sun reflects nicely.

Another great set of photographs.

What lens did you use for these? I see in your exif data it says you were out to 550mm on these (what a reach).

Another nice series, Eric. I really enjoy your work. I like the Wood Duck and babies especially but they are all good. You made an ordinary grackle look sweet.

Thanks again for some of the most colorful birds ever.

I love Owls and have never seen one alive in the wild. Great find!! Good shot. You have found the best place to shoot I think in all of Florida.
