I finaly have a shot of a bald eagle I'm proud of. Found a place where they are used to people and broke out the 2x extender for this one.
I am extremly happy with this one.

My wife found me a Barred owls nest. She is a very helpful eye for me I can't believe how she see things I overlook.
here's a few shots of Momma on the move and one a tender moment with baby.
Down at the sebastian inlet is always a treat, that place always has something to look at. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.
Magnificent Frigatebird, Great Blue Heron, Redhead Agama and an Osprey .
The royal terns have a feast stealing bait from the Local fisherman at the Sebastian inlet. It's a bit comical as long as your not fishing. 🤣
They take the bait sometimes during the cast, sometimes from the water but it's always followed by a lot of cursing. I don't tell them I got the shot...
here is a shot of the Brown peilican that was just chilling along side a bunch of fisherman down by a local inlet. I processed it 2 different ways
one way was my typical way which can get heavy handed at times and the second way is heavy handed on pupose. I was lookng for a
more artistic...
I'm trying the 2x extender for the first time and this thing works great in certain situations. As I was walking I heard a bird in the tree and as I searched
I finally saw the Green heron burried in the branches. He/she had no idea I was there so it was completly comfortable. Typicaly they...
I've been trying to set this shot up for a while and I finaly got it. I also want one head on in a similar tone but I will settle for this for now.

Some times getting that tight shot backfires and the wings extend past the border of the shot. Live and learn and hers are 2 examples.
Wood Stork and a Purple gallinule

I always love the look of the Great egret with it's mating plumage. I stuck around for an hour but it didn't fan it out for me.
I still came away with a great shot.

I have been so very lucky this year with the spoon bills. In the past I was only able to get distant shots that get muddy real fast.
This year has been awesome getting closer to them.

some days just isn't a wildlife day. I strolled and sat in a few parks to get these few shots. 4 hours in total and I came away with no steller shots but a few
sharable ones. All and all it's always good to be in nature to remin us we are alive and just another animal on this planet.

very lucky enough to sneak up on this spoonbill. I waited around for a halfhour before he put on a show.
Not sure if I like the last one because of the OOF branch and body facing away too much.

Palm Warbler, Eastern Pheobe, Bluegray Gnatcatcher and an Anhinga. @ Viera Wetlands. The great thing about the wetlands around me is that you never know what your going to see next. It's hard to get bored or see nothing.
