What was cool about this event is a fellow birder had his iPhone.  we quickly ID'd the bird, looked him up on Birdseye and started the bird call.  The bird actually began responding and creating a conversation of sorts with the iPhone.  He was intrigued enough so he also flew closer to our location so we could get up close shots..it was incredible to witness this as I had not before.

A lot of really good pic's in this forum. I've only been photographing birds for the past 2 weeks, and I'm starting to appreciate the effort that it takes to get a great, in focus pic (I've taken heaps of pic's of in focus twigs, with a blurry bird somewhere in it)

Yellow-faced Homeyeater. A fast mover through the scrub. Only managed to get 2 shots off.

As usual, fantastic pictures!

Mr Bean, I know what you mean but your shot is lovely.

ooF Fighters, I had a good laugh when I saw the pic. It is perfect.

As best I can tell, it's a Clown Knifefish which I believe is pretty rare in the Everglades
