breakfast in the marsh
I took this picture in the back waters of the mississippi.

Not sure what kind of bird it is, he was about 50 yards from me

frantically trying to get the frog

It was about 10am and cloudy.

took the shot using canon xsi and a tamron 200-500 lens.

This website is new to me and so is using an slr, on this particular

morning i captured many pictures of birds. please let me know your opinions

Welcome.... Its a nice shot, except for the plant thats in front of the bird. Anyways, tough conditions! As far as the subject, it must be some type of heron or egret.
Would love to see some of your other shots. :toast:

Welcome to MWNP, Wally. What you have there is a green heron. Nice action shot.

Great shot. How long did it take you to get it?

Up it's a Green Heron. Nice shot. Too bad you had some grass in the way.
