I’ve spent some time between shows camping at Collier Seminole State Park and found some great shots nearby in the Fakahatchee. It’s going to be hard to edit these down to just one or two to prints for art shows. Here are some from the first look through. I always try to avoid looking at the photos while I’m in the field, but I was pretty excited to see these. So there I was up late with my laptop editing on a picnic table in my campsite. I probably had the other campers wondering about this weird guy camping by himself looking at his laptop.
These snowy egrets are hunting by flying low over the water dragging their feet in the water to scare up some bait fish in front of them and scooping them out of the water in flight. They just kept putting on the show for me giving me lots of chances for photos. All in nice light. Thank you snowy egrets!
Some more from the 10,000 Islands Marsh Trail along the Tamiami Trail I shot this morning. This tri-colored heron put on a nice show for me while hunting for fish in the morning light.
This great blue heron picked a nice spot to pose for me in the Sweetwater Strand on Loop Road.
WOW!!!!
These are amazing! I just got back from this area. Check out corkscrew, and Ding Darling Wildlife Management area on Sanibel. I am a somewhat birder. But anyway you do an amazing job!!
Thanks Betty, this is a great place to see birds. Sounds like you hit some of the best spots too.
