Thanks for the kind words.

Great pics. Love pics of the south covered in snow

You must have some really fancy glass--those birds didn't come up close and sit that still.

No "L" series in my bag, that's for sure, big $....

I shot the birds with a Sigma 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM Lens @ 500mm

Those pictures are fantastic

It does a beautiful job! Even considering the super high light level reflecting off a blanket of snow, you must have used a tripod & cable release. What kinds of shutter speeds did it take for these images?

Well, those are some cool shots. Love the birds. I'm also in N MS. Cheers!

We were down to Sardis in 2014 and had snow & the lakes froze over. A friend told me it was the first ice on the lakes in 30 years. Beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing.

Those are great looking photos.
