Great capture!I have had as many as a dozen around my pond. One pair is nesting somewhere near here but I haven't found where. I don't think they are in the tree they used last year. We have been planting berries for the last few years and they are becoming regulars. Before that they were a rare sight for me.Way cool birds!

Good shot dante- idk how to 'add' people or what you mean, but nice pics! Deanine thanks! I just got a new camera with a better zoom to it- I was looking at dslr's but, the weight with the additional lens on it- due to an injury I have w my arm, I couldn't shoot w it, so- back to point n shoots for now til/if I get better. I have a Canon powershot sx40, and also a Sony d-700 (or something like that idk lol) I love them both, you can find a good camera on craigslist believe it or not~ Just always ask HOW MANY photos they've taken with it, once it gets up over 1000-2000 they lose their sharp/crispness in the pics.

I keep stopping by this thread to see the wonderful photos of the adult tenderly caring for the irresistible babies - but all those gaping mouths caused a small problem for me. I had a dentist appointment soon after viewing the pics and I started thinking of what we look like to a dentist, with our mouths wide open. Do they ever get the urge to drop a worm in our mouths? I'm afraid I'll never go to a dentist again without thinking about this. Great photos though. Claire

I think sal thinks one of the cats is pregnant... I'm curious, sal, where do you see other cats? I kind of see a green one at the top but since cats aren't green I figured it wasn't an actual cat.
