Reddish Egret (Dichromanassa rufescens); dark phase

Excellent...reflection really adds. I like the wide crop as well.....gives the impression of the wide-open beach.

Calidris alba; Waaaaaay cool shot.

Tympanuchus cupido..................very nice shot.

Nice one......

I'm surprised they aren't overexposed using multi-segment metering. All that snow seems likely to cause problems.

Here's a good one. "Stretching on the Lek" might be a good title.

Must be at the old Hammerstrom place. I've spent a LOT of time there......but that was in pre-digital days as an undergraduate and film was expensive (well, most things are expensive to an undergraduate, right?).

My neighbor who boats with the artist has this picture and it is truly breathtaking.

Amazing, beautifully composed

Awesome shot. Gorgeous

beautiful pic. Check out operationmigration.org for more info on the status of the whooping crane migration project in progress.A truly facinating story and a cause worth supporting

Great shots.

amazing mate
