I got a new toy. Here are some pictures. Obviously just because the toy is new doesn't mean I can shoot any better, but you can be the judge of that. I'm still learning. Like, every time I go out!

This is a very hard bird for me to get good pictures of.  It is a swallow tailed kite.  They're here for a little bit before they go to Brazil.  They're WAY high in the sky and I'm afraid my 300mm just ain't cuttin' it.

This is Eaty.  It isn't an exotic name, she likes to eat so that's what we named her.  I also thought about Nicky because of the nick in her left ear but no.

She's my green eyed lady.  

Don't let her looks fool you, though.  She is a highly efficient killer.

Be sure to always look UP while hanging out in the bush.  Trust me...

Busy little pond here!

perhaps the ugliest creature in the world but just another one of God's awesome creatures.  Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to pet one.
