Red-winged blackbird in flight - should've had the shutter faster. It was one of those in-and-out days with clouds, though, and I kept bumping the speed up and down. Oops!

And here are my favourite marsh critters of all (minus their Daddy, who was working hard laying tile at his renovation project):

Wow... hope you used telephoto on that last shot. The one with the reddish bill looks mighty dangerous. Lol

Something really special about that first shot Mel, those footprints make it and the foliage underneath it. Magic shot. Nice work in the other shots as well, love the BIF. Yeah that last shot looks like a bunch of deadlies, get out of there fast Mel !!

All the best and great to see.

Danny.

Yes, I have to agre with Danny about that frog shot...that is one of the BEST AND MOST-UNUSUAL frog photos I have seen in maybe a year or more. Really good, clean raccoon prints too! Very nifty!

Thanks guys, I re-cropped the frog to get rid of some of the distracting green top right, do you think it's better or worse (I'm not decided)?

I have to agree with the others really good and unusual shot of the frog.
