I was shooting at the local depot this week, and here’s some of the images I kept. There seems to have been more activity last month than there was this week, but it was cold, so birds keep more to themselves.

Osprey at the Lake
Although it is still early in the year, we spent a couple of days at Blue Cypress Lake. It was cold and the water choppy, which made it more difficult to shoot the birds with hand held lenses, the best way to do it on a boat. There are some birds around already, although not… Continue reading Osprey at the Lake

Great Egret Fight
We witnessed this fight early today, at Mzarek pond, ENP. It was just a few minutes after sunrise, the sun was still leaving the pond in the shade, it’s backlit a little later. These row had been following each other and brutally grabbing each other by the neck, and I got some usable poses. The… Continue reading Great Egret Fight
Flicker versus Starling
Earlier this year, our friend Judy Lynn called us shot of breath and very excited, that there were a pair of Flickers being chased out of their brand new nest by a gang of Starlings. We happen to have the afternoon off and we headed to Green Cay Wetlands, and joined Judy and a couple… Continue reading Flicker versus Starling
