Howdee all,
Where you see fisherman here in Fort Desoto
You almost always see birds
Looking for a hand out..
Brown Pelican
I was able to get fairly close to take photos..
I never realized there were so many colors in the Great Blue.
Great blue heron
Great Egret
Close-up shot of the eye and bill~something I cant often capture with my point and shoot cameras.
Jeff and I hung out here a bit watching the fisherman and the birds..
Then continued on around the peninsula in search of the
Marbled Godwit.
Jeff and I are now on Sanibel Island~Give us a shout if you want meet and do some birding.
Wow, those birds sure are acclimated to people, and feeding, and photos. Your captures are Great!
ReplyDeleteSeeing those egrets reminds me of what my ophthalmologist's assistant told me. She said on two separate occasions they had patients who tried to help injured egrets. The people got stabbed in the eye with that beak. Apparently, they go for the eyes when they feel threatened. She said the results were ghastly. So, for god's sake, stay away from that beak!
ReplyDeleteThose friendly FL birds.. that white sand..that turquoise water..So sorry life is tough lol! See, I keep up w/ you! Beautiful pics!
