Some odds and ends from this past weekend:

Just some random stuff from the weekend. I won't bore you with the Bald Eagles and heron Rookery stuff that I've been shooting heavily lately, but here are some of the "opportunity" shots:

Brown Pelican with reflections:

Ring-Billed Gull says: "Hey, that pelican reflection stuff is kinda cool!"

Burrowing Owl says: "What's that gull looking at?"

Piping Plover says: "Geez...you'd think none of you had ever seen a Brown Pelican before! I'm outta here!"

Wow Bob, I absolutely love the second one the Brown Pelican! The symmetry is what really does it for me.

I love those! Very nice.
How do you add the comments/descriptions inbetween the photos? I'll take a guess and say that you copy and past the photo's addy from this site inbetween the comments while typing up your post?

Those pelican reflection shots are impressive.

I have to agree with your Ring-billed Gull :)

Had to make a correction. I think the Plover is a Piping Plover....Not a Wilson's. Paul? Verification please?

Very nice work, and captions too! I really like #2 for the reflections. :thumbsup:

Upload the photo first to a separate website (e.g. photobucket, imageshack, flickr, photographyreview gallery), then copy and paste the URL into [IMG][/IMG] in your post. Then optionally write text above or below.

Also, which I recently discovered, if you attach photos by uploading files to a post, place your mouse cursor on the file link and memorize the attachment ID number. Then type it into [attach][/attach] code.

See here for more info on "codes". http://forums.photographyreview.com/misc.php?do=bbcode

Thanks Alex.

That second pelican shot, heck both of them, are they entered in IWP ?

What's IWP? Sorry, I don't wander beyond the Nature forums much.

What awesome eye candy...thanks Bob for making my morning.

Wonderful work Bob! I always get a big kick out of viewing your post. Keep it up.

Those reflection shots are amazing Bob. The first one is my favourite, beautiful!

LOL - OH.....THAT one! I knew that contest as the WPOTY competition. Yes, I'll be entering that one this year. I always wait until the last minute though. Sadly, I can't enter my White Morph.....But I have plenty of others that may make a run. that is definitely THE wildlife photography competition. The only other one like it is the Nature's Best competition.

Great work as always :) Gorgeous reflections! But my very favourite is the piping plover, wauw....:)

You'd be hard pressed to find calm water like that, in SW MN. :D

Wow! Those brown pelican shots are amazing!

(the others are great too :) )

FYI all - I got a positive ID on that Plover. It is indeed a Piping Plover. That's a new species for me, and another notch in my "Endangered Species" handle! They are hard to ID in their Winter Plumage because they look so much like Semipalmated Plovers.

I am inspired and frustrated all at the same time!

Those are absolutely gorgeous!!
