Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive

Used my last weekday off to take a trip to Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive. I didn’t see a super lot and the last time through was incredibly annoying as it’s a one-way dirt road and one car was going about 2 miles an hour through and not pulling over. This led to a lineup of about 30 cars behind them but they apparently didn’t care. The photography highlights were some cooperative Red-winged Blackbirds, my best Belted Kingfisher photos, and an Osprey. The Belted Kingfisher has been one of my nemesis birds as they are super skittish and usually fly off as soon as you get anywhere near them. This one just caught a fish and ate it on a bush on the opposite side of the canal from me.
