Of course one of the things the Everglades are is known for is the birding. We saw a bunch of cool birds including several Barred Owls and some Swallow-tailed Kites. I was able to get my best kite photos so far. We also saw a lot of the normal water […]

A couple birds from the Everglades
Everglades National Park, and especially Anhinga trail, is one of the best bird photography places to visit. There are a whole lot of different type of birds to see and all pretty use to people. The cormorants in particular are very used to the crowds and allow for a close […]

Reddish Egrets, Fort Desoto
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 […]
