Two new species, more carnage and others :)

I didn't have great light, but I saw my first Snipe and Red Necked Grebe, so they are a bit more documentary style. They aren't super rare, but the first time I have seen other. Also a few other shots from today. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

1 Wilson's Snipe (ISO 4000)

Your photos are phenomenal, but very intimidating to the new guy!
Enjoy them ALL!

Nice shots Kris. No wonder the Merganser was nervous seeing the Hawk chow down on a cousin. :biggrin-93:

Amazed at the first two. At that ISO or that distance I would have gotten an unrecognizable blur. My favorite here is a toss up between the nuthatch and merganser.
