One of the most interesting things o me about birds is the huge variety of ways that they catch food. This post has 4 separate examples of birds all from the same location, the Circle B Bar Reserve, in Lakeland, Florida. Anhingas dive under the water and stab fish with […]
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 […]
Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the best birding sites in Florida which is saying quite a lot. It is especially interesting to visit during the spring migration around March/April. This is because it is the only place for birds to stop to rest and get fresh water in […]
Dry Tortugas National Park is one of the more difficult parks to get to. It is an almost 70 mile boat ride or float plane ride from Key West, Florida. That is one of the reasons that I highly recommend staying a night or two on the island. After the […]
I am lucky to live about 30 minutes away from one of the best birding sites in the state of Florida which is Fort Desoto County Park in Tierra Verde. Being a great birding place also makes it a great place to practice a lot of different kinds of photography. […]

Today I got to make my first real outing with the Canon 5D Mark III. I spent a couple of hours this morning at Fort Desoto, mostly around the pier photographing the birds. I also saw a couple of dolphin and got a decent shot or two. The autofocus on […]
Sandhill Cranes are some of the most interesting birds to watch in Florida. They can get pretty big and a lot of them are pretty habituated to humans which can both help and harm the photography aspect. In these shots you can see the main stages of growth of the […]
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 […]
Dry Tortugas National Park off of Key West, Florida is one of the coolest places I have been. It is only accessible by boat or float plane. Fort Jefferson which is on Garden Key is a lot of fun to explore and has a lot of history to it. “The […]
