    Very nice. #5 has a great juxtaposition of bird lines and colors with nautical lines and colors that I like very much.

    I like nos. 4 and 5, Otavio. 4 is the cleanest image and may be even better by cropping away some of the right side of the frame. 5 is a nice BIF plus colors. The highlights are a bit hot on the lit side of the bird.

    Nice images, your Black-crowned Night Heron appears to be exactly like the ones in Florida. The last image appears it is on a branch with Black Vultures, again the same bird we have in Florida.

    Excellent series. I like 1,2,4 and 5. #7 is also interesting. What is he poking his beak at?

    Hi, Joe. I do believe the Night Heron is the same. Our climate/weather are quite similar. Regarding his companions on #8, yes, they are black vultures, also probably the same kind you find in Florida. Thanks for viewing and I wish a happy new year to you and your family. Cheers!

    Thanks, Bobo. Looks like he was spearing the vulture with its beak but it was not actually touching the vulture. Just an illusion due to the angle it was shot.

    Cheers,
