OH GOOD IT DECIDED TO FINALLY POST THANKS NOW I LOOK RIDICULOUS.
this month's BirdWhisperer is a Brown Shrike, a little guy that probably eats his meals in a totally normal way

I love finding great blue herons (Ardea herodias) hunting in the Louisiana lakes. Herons and egrets are not a rare sight, but I still feel privileged every time I see one. In this photo, I like the way the camera captured the heron's reflection in the water.
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I most likely will post this one to the gallery even though I I think that have a similar photo, framed differently, posted there already. I usually wait a couple of days to see how I feel about it then.

The male is the fluffed-up one in these photos. He is slightly larger and slightly more colorful. More like a couple of notches up on the color saturation dial.
