Great shot!!

There's some satisfaction to be gained from ignoring the large professional displays in favor of a small celebration with the family

Back to the wetlands again after a vacation break - some pics of the summer animals this 4th of July extended weekend (and one from the prior weekend I hadn't processed until this weekend!):

 

Great egret soaring high:

 

Extreme closeup with a big male green iguana:

 

A cute fuzzy little mottled duckling:

 

A cute fuzzy not-quite-as-little baby raccoon:

 

Just about the strangest pose I've ever seen a bird stand in...this is a yellow-crowned night heron doing a Marlon Brando impersonation:

 

Sneaking a peek into a red-winged blackbird's nest between the leaves and branches...a sunlit little mouth begging for food:

Fantastic captures!

Nice shots, Justin!

Love the closeup of the iguana. Look at the shadow your oddly-posing bird throws -- he's playing "Batman!"

Love the heron and the raccoon - thanks for sharing these wonderful images, Justin :D
