Thanks Christian. I did see what looked like a Blue Heron but was too far away without the zoom. It looks like a great place for both seabirds and other water birds with all the swampy ponds around there. On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 3:15 PM, Christian wrote: > Nice shots, Tom.  I go to Asseteague j

Thanks Ann. I found this difficult because for one, they had their heads in the grass chowing down 95% of the time. The bright sky also made it difficult, combined with the fact that my zoom I had with me was out of commission. In addition to not working in AF, it appears to be locked/stopped dow

Tom, these are lovely! The light is just right for them, nice detail with no glaring sun. These looked healthier than the critters I met back in the 1980's - but I notice they are equally tame.. I still calls 'em ponies - not that they aren't horses in a broader sense , of course. ;-) ann
