@shutterbug49 Thanks… no drone… just my 70-300mm Sony lens.

@marlboromaam thanks Mags… I took all the January bird shots in three days of hiking at the Orlando Wetlands Park in late December. Since I am focused on training for my Grand Canyon hike (only one month from today) I haven’t been shooting much this month.

@cashep19 thanks Carrie… yes… the mouth is open and likely squawking up a storm… these are very vocal birds.

@ludwigsdiana thanks Diana… these are very talkative birds so I’m sure I caught this one mid-squawk.

[Bill]
