Post by: Anonymous on January 24, 2010, 01:50:24 PM

A couple from a great sunrise enjoyed in the park.  This was one of 4 I saw yesterday in the park during a 2 hour visit.

Well hello, human...

Very nice Attila.  I had hoped to stop at Presquile on Saturday, but ran out of light/time.

Egret - glad you enjoyed them, and yes, it's neat how they cover up those talons with their feathers.  :lol:

Denis - it most certainly is.  There's something great about being there at first light, I must say - nobody else to run into and the sun just coming up over the horizon.

Ravynne - thanks!

Moira - I hear you on that one!  Never seems to be enough daylight at this time of year and then when we have some it gets cloudy...argh!  :)
