Very, very nice. Where were these taken? And by-the-way; I had to embed my photos with a virus that makes the thieves peepees fall off for stealing shots I post.:fire:

Those are absolutely magnificent photos and beautiful birds! Thank you for sharing them---just fantastic. If I had to pick a favorite, which is REALLY difficult, it would be the Northern shoveler with the weeds on his back. Then again, I could choose any of them as a favorite. :yes:

Birds


The Brandt's cormorant was taken Monday morning at the estuary Las Garzas. The others are from Monday afternoon at the Nopoló golf course.

I count the species about once a week at each place. Monday morning I counted 46 species at las Garzas, and Tuesday morning I counted 54 species at Nopoló.

The counts are on the bcsbirds.com website in the signature line below. There are a couple of hundred days represented in the data base.
