Now do I have to unlearn that and go back to "Green Heron"? Where is Fox News when you need them?

I was quickly rattling off some plumage differences, but you're right of course. The bill's an easy mark with some experience and if you're close enough to see it. Keith, thanks for noticing. I've fixed it, as he and I are not on a first name basis of course. Good point on the bill Michael. I was quickly rattling off some plumage differences, but you’re right of course.

Regarding the one labeled "Greg Egret", is that a typo, or are you on a first-name basis with this bird? Also, it looks like someone took a bite out of your Twelve-spotted Skimmer, turning it into an Eleven-spotted Skimmer. Perhaps it was Greg? Hi Jay,

In my opinion that's the most important and obvious difference between the two species . Noticed you didn’t mention the bill shape.

I know a little bit about the time and skill it takes to produce such pictures. You do have an eye for the artistic, both in your photos and web design. Now, umm...could you send BCAS your Lesser Yellowlegs, Franklin's Gull, and Empidonax pictures? I would be most grateful... Well done!

I suspect that in bird photography, as in photography in general, the most critical component of the imaging system is the eye (and brain) right behind the camera. Keep up the good work!
