I have so very much to learn.<br /><br />Your shots are wonderful and I too had the very same problem while out last week hunting. I didn't see one bird that we don't have here at the house. I did see a few wild Mallards but that was it.<br /><br />I was in a very isolated nature preserve too. I guess last week was just not the week to sight many rare finds.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this with us. I always enjoy looking at birds!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378896151545384221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906944037951213307.post-39017241589302614792013-02-03T20:18:04.668+00:002013-02-03T20:18:04.668+00:00Great heron shot!

And if I don't have a camera they sit still, but the minute I raise a camera they fly. Oh well, just seeing them is wonderful though! <br /><br />Sallie (FullTime-Life)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442598857394838271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2906944037951213307.post-88563581477688154332013-02-03T17:04:54.274+00:002013-02-03T17:04:54.274+00:00Patch birding at its best Frank.
