OMG Kathy he is telling you, that you are too close. lol This is Awesome , these are one of the hardest birds I think to get a great photo of. When they are just standing there they look skinny and plain but close up and the mouth open, awesome !!!!! What a cool title as well
kathy s gillen... replied
lol, he didn;t seem to mind that Gina and I were that close to him/her. The rookery had only pair of them there this time. Need to go in the winter…. this is where the gator ran out in front of Gina & I, lol
