Great series of shots, I really like the last one. How do you get these shots? I spent two hours recently trying and these guys never stopped long enough to even try to get a shot. I finally gave up and moved on to something less active, like a flower.

I took all these images right from the car. I was driving along the swamp looking for birds and seen about 20 of these flying around and landing on the weeds. They stood there for about 2 minuets without moving so I just kept snapping away then moved to the net one.

Thanks for looking

Frank

They are beautiful and I'm glad they're not the fire-breathing type! Beautiful colors and crisp details!
