A Few More of My Favorite Waders

Here are the next to last photos saved from the Ding Darling trip. I hope everyone enjoyed the photos, and will put Ding Darling on their list to visit. You won't regret the up close and personal encounters almost guaranteed every morning!

Your images are so stunning! It must be wonderful to get so close to these beautiful birds. Around here, the Great Blues fly while we're still literally a quarter mile away. I need to live next to Ding Darling!!
