thank you sir! It’s been months of watching this guy and that day an hour and a half sitting waiting with camera ready and set to “turbo” mode! (30 frames per second)

I have the entire sequence from him, shrugging his shoulders to full in flight at 30 frames per second. And for me that was the particular money shot!

"Turbo" mode...sweet...well worth the wait.
I've been watching eagles in my area for years & never get tired of it.

This is the 4th consecutive year the Indigo Buntings have returned to my property to nest.

Real heavy crop of this male. I need some help in the identity. I see it as a Red Naped Sapsucker but they are not common to my area. Any one know for sure?

Good evening playing with a Barred Owl family. I was able to get the male and female but their fledgling stayed out of range.


Female Barred Owl, really big bird.

Male Barred Owl, smaller than his mate but a little bolder.

Pelicans near the lighthouse on Sanibel Island. They make a big splash when they crash in the water.

Yellow crowned night heron, we usually have blue herons, so this was cool to see.
