I’m not sure a domestic Turkey looks any better. This is just not pretty!

Ducks Getting The Winter Sun
Taken in a swamp on our first true cold day. I try to always ID any animals photographed when publishing something, but can’t here.
The male on the left almost looks like a Green-winged Teal, or maybe a Wigeon. Unless an Alligator pulled up they were staying hunkered down.
Great Blue Heron By The Tall Reeds
There was a small canal between us so the bird was comfortable enough to go about his business.
I did apply a little matte finish here since everything was a dull brown. Pretty much a little yellow tone.
Gallinule Portrait
For me this is a surprising shot of a Gallinule. There’s clear open water and the light didn’t hide any of the dark colors.
If you have never seen one of these birds close click the image above. Facial features and coloration is about as good as you can get out in the wild.
Dancing The Twist, Heron
This juvenile Little Blue almost turned himself inside out trying fluff up his feathers.
This is a young bird that appears to have never left the rookery area. Granted they all look alike, but there is a first year Little Blue always in the same general area.

Down Under (Water), Alligator
Not a place you want to stick your toes in the water.
He was a small one, but still who expects to see this when you look down.
Great Blue, Edge Of The Marsh
Just a great spot to photograph a big heron.
Not being too close he made no move to leave. When that happens we have plenty of time to change camera settings and focal lengths.
Comparing the two images here you can see a slightly different background in the one directly above. A small change in position gave me a new perspective…and he was fine with it since I didn’t really get any closer.
