Florida Bird Photos
These are the other two decent shots I got at Edward Medard Park in Plant City of the Snail Kites. They were mostly catching snails and flying back and forth calling to each other, but every once in a while one would fly over with a stick. Neither of these […]
I have so many of these that I like but I like to try to keep good variety to the photos that I post. Here are a few more from the Black Skimmer colony that unfortunately was affected by one of the storms this year. Hopefully they will be back […]
This morning I took another trip back to Edward Medard Park and Reservoir for another shot at the Snail Kites. I had a little better luck today. I probably stayed for about 1 1/2 hours and they flew over maybe 5-6 times. These are definitely the best shots I have […]
Tonight I am posting a couple more of the shots from my trip to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples, Florida. I love the boardwalk there and always try to capture it and the environment. Often this is difficult because it can be very contrasty but is easier to capture near […]
Last week I took a trip to Edward Medard Park and Reservoir in Plant City to look for some Snail Kites that are now nesting in the area. I did see the Snail Kites although I did not get great shots. Guess I will have to go back and try […]

The two shots tonight go back a few years when I was on a trip in Africa with my sister who had just finished her two year stint in the Peace Corps. The first shot is a pair of White Storks that were nesting on a wall in Marrakesh, Morocco. […]
One of the most famous sayings in photography is F8 and be there. F8 is a camera setting that I won’t go into right now because the point of this statement is to get the shot you have to be in the right place at the right time. This is […]
One of the nice things about living in Florida for a photographer is the abundance of birds. If you spend the time watching them it is amazing the number of different ways that they catch their prey. Great Blue Herons are patient hunters. They usually enter a body of water […]
While going through my photo archives recently I came across this photo of the light plumaged Red Shouldered Hawk. I probably did not realize at the time that it was unusual, but it definitely caught my eye when I saw it this time. It is not the best shot, but […]
