  5. Nice series of photos. Love the Commentary too! I've never seen a White-faced Gray Heron. Very pretty. Hope you get closer to him!

  9. Your birds are worthy of a book, Carole! On my list of birds is the Great Blue Heron, which we have here. They are so shy, though, and I have only two images---both taken with telephoto lenses zoomed to the max!

    The crested pigeon in the last post is good - I could not believe them when I saw them first!

  25. Great shots of the bird behinds Carole. I love the portrait of the Pelican as well and I didn't even know that there was a White-faced Heron! Cool!

  26. Wonderful images, Carole!! I usually refer to the Pelican as a jumbo jet of the avian world... They really are quite graceful even with their sheer size!
    Lovely capture of the White-faced Heron too!

  28. Hi Carole...First thank you so much for your comments on my posts!
    Oh I love your pelican shot's.., and I can see a heart shape on it's backside : ) Maybe it would be more willing at that angle if it
    knew that : )
    Great great flight shots!!

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
