I've been looking at the Wimberley and Jobu gimble style heads for a while now.

Once I stirred them out of the water all they wanted to do was sit in the trees and taunt me.<br /><br />Hopefully you are right and I will have lots of opportunities for photos here. Maybe even more if I get up at sun-up. :~)Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449035484180022546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116206520787459203.post-55328956771265140292012-05-04T03:40:49.606-10:002012-05-04T03:40:49.606-10:00Great capture of Casmerodius albus x2!

LOL<br /><br />Yes, I will have to invest in a bird book and probably even a Hawaiian plant book. I do have a pop up hunting blind I'm going to use around the ponds once we get settled just to see what I can get photos of. I will even be able to set up my tripod inside with a chair and an ice chest or thermos and a heater if it gets cold!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449035484180022546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116206520787459203.post-76613666004712242612012-05-04T02:58:16.813-10:002012-05-04T02:58:16.813-10:00I like this alot!

You might as well make a trip to the bookstore and pick up a book so you can start identifying the many birds that will visit. Different species at different times of year will be interesting!<br />Wonder what a guy could see visiting the pond at sunup besides a sunrise??LOLparkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201281917735686135noreply@blogger.com
