Yup :) . I went there Saturdy to take my mind off things. What was unusual is that generally at this time of year the Anhingas, Cattle Egrets and Great Egrets are usually seen there with the GBH's coming in last. This time there were almost all GBH pairs with only a few Anhingas with chicks.

Sweet image, Harvey. A fine BG and FG for Venice. Just a bit more room below.

Harvey,

Very nicely posed family image, love the open bill on junior. Perhaps a bit less contrast.

I had heard that the breeding had started which was a surprise to me. Excellent shot ....especially for Venice as it's not easy to get a nice BG there.

Harvey,

This is extremely well done. I love everything about it. The background is very nice - especially for Venice.

Congratulations!!
