A few pics---

The Rio is now flowing and I found out this morning when I got to my spot that it had risen another 5 to 6 inches. I'll take it.

Ended up taking a pair of greenwing teal and a pair of gadwalls. Not many ducks using the "highway" yet, but in time they will. All I need to do is be patient.

This evening about an hour before sunset I drove down to BdA NWR. Found out they now have 31K light geese that have arrived.

I guess the most fun I had was finding a spot to shoot cranes when they were coming back from feeding. That WAS fun!

Mom, dad, and the kid.

Beautiful pictures, (as usual). Good luck and good hunting.

Dang, Al. You get them in close with that lens. Trip

Holy Moly, Al! I've never seen cranes other than on a boat ride in the Okefenokee swamp. And I've never seen light geese in my life. To my knowledge they don't visit the state of Georgia.

Thanks for sharing the photos. From my perspective it looks like you live in an area of great natural beauty complete with exotic waterfowl.

Hi Andy,
Good to hear from you. Glad you liked the pictures. I do enjoy my day in the blind! By the way I do notice it getting colder as I get older. HMMMM---
