Stunning photos, Kim!! I almost had to contact you this week about some white birds in our slough. I had never seen them before – turns out they are Snowy Egrets. I keep getting side-tracked while working in the pecan orchard! So many wonderful birds! Now if I just had that 11K Canon zoom lens I could get some really great photos! Ha ha
