A pretty bird and an ugly one.

I managed a few shots today, after the rain finally stopped. However, we needed all of the 1 3/4" we got.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm in Plymouth right now and will be heading to the Louisville Swamp by Shakopee in the morning. I hope to get a couple shots before the strong winds arrive.

The Louisville Swamp was dead. I think there are more birds in my daughter's backyard. Oh well, it was good exercise and the sumac was awful purty.
