Vulture was shot while out with Randy from a long distance and cropped a lot.

Randy and I went out Thursday shooting and this is one I managed to get.

Here is a couple I got today while Jeff and I were out shooting.

Red-tailed hawk

I think this is a male and female Leaser Scaup. Top photo is the female.

I got this a couple weeks ago I wish it was sharper but I like the way he is looking through the feathers.

I was out at Gulf Island National Seashore Park today and spotted this man from Arkansas casting for minnows. I asked him if he would mind if I took some pictures and he told me to shoot away. Jeff Impey Photography

When an oak tree gets torn up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast we don't get rid of the trunk, we keep it's spirit alive by carving things into what is left after a storm tears off the main part of the tree. Here is an example of one of the trees that was ruined by Hurricane Katrina. We turn trash into treasure. You can find many of these sculptures along the beach but this is the only on that was painted instead of leaving it wood toned. This one is on the Biloxi town green across from the Hard Rock Casino on the beach. Jeff Impey Photography

This was a shot from last night of a White Egret at a distance of several hundred feet.

Black Skimmer

This black skimmer dropped right in front of me to bathe the other evening.  I was lucky enough that not only did it not flush, but continued to bathe.  I got this shot just after it dipped it's bill in the water the first or second time.

I was out shooting in Ocean Springs today and Randy came driving up. There wasn't much going on where we were so he showed me a place in Biloxi that I shot this at on back bay.
