Thanks, guys! I'm not sure I'm getting better. It's more that these birds seem somewhat tame. I'm pretty sure the kids (and maybe the adults) might be feeding them. The Ibises don't even seem to care, the Muscovy went in the water when I got a little too close, but those Little Blue Herons are really shy. Luckily, I had a tree and some brush to "hide" behind. Maybe I can get Dad to teach me how to set up a duck blind so I can shoot at them - with my camera!
Oh, I would have taken a picture of the Crows but they were dumpster diving.
