I don’t shoot a lot of bird photography any more, but sometimes it is just too easy to pass up. Living in Florida, near the water, I have easy access to a lot of good bird photography sites. Fort Desoto is definitely one of the best sites for any type […]
Reddish Egrets are one of the favorite birds for many bird photographers to take pictures of. There are several reasons. First, they are pretty cool looking birds. Second, there are two color variations, a dark morph and a white morph. Third, when hunting they prance around and make a cool […]
Although I have a bunch more of the Tampa photos from my Skypoint session, I decided it was time to break them up a little. These shots are both from Thanksgiving break and my trip to Viera Wetlands. I always like to arrive for sunrise. Usually I am looking for […]
Crested Caracaras are probably my favorite Florida bird of prey although burrowing owls would give them a run for their money. I’m not sure what it is that I like about them, but I just think they have a cool look to them. In Florida, they occupy the central and […]
Sticking with the baby theme, but tonight back to the archive for a couple baby Black Skimmer photos. I missed going to see them this year, but I always enjoy watching them. They are one of my favorite shorebirds. It is especially cool to watch their unique feeding style, skimming […]
I have recently seen some photos of the Black Skimmers so decided to post a few of my old ones. I have not been to see them this year yet. They are fun to watch, especially the interaction between the chicks and between the chicks and the parents. [facebook]
It has been awhile since I posted any shots of the Black Skimmers and I have not been able to get out and take any more pictures recently so I figured I would post a few of these. They are fun to watch. It can be quite funny to watch […]
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 […]
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 […]
