Nice mangrove setting and expression on the bird. Sharon

Good looking bird. The bit of leaves nicely echo the colors of the bird. In the larger image the eye area is a bit over-sharpened.

Nice setting and I've never seen a rail in this position, so from that perspective a very interesting image. Looks a little grainy though, which at ISO 400 with a D3s should not be the case ? Happy Easter ! Hans

Nice Chuck. I like the colors on this rail. Nice habitat setting too.

A nice job of getting this and another interesting bird I have never heard of. I have really enjoyed seeing all the birds from your trips.
