King Flyer

Well this was different. I could hear this Belted Kingfisher flying along the banks of the Miami River. As she flew into our view it was apparent she did not plan to land so that we could capture a photo .. so I took this photo. I took a few, but this was the only good capture. ❤️

We have been watching these geese since they hatched this spring. Now they are getting to be as big as their parents. We have no shortage of geese around here.

Beautiful Mallard Family

I photographed this Mallard family while hiking last week. I don't know where dad was, but since the mallard is monogamous, I assume he was nearby. What a beautiful family.

Keep Trying

We took a couple mile walk on the beach Thursday morning. The sunrise was amazing (last photo below). I got all excited when I saw this Snowy Egret land near us. All I had with me was my iPhone, but that did not stop me. I walked in his direction, snapping photos as I approached him. When he took off, I followed. I finaly called it and finished our hike. Keep in mind, none of these photos of this bird are up to my normal standard. It was just too far away. But hey, I love to share.

Our room was on the 12th floor, facing the beach. We had not been in our rom long when I saw this Snowy Egret land on the beach below. Yes, I had my big camera with me, so I started snapping photos. They did not come out perfect, but here they are.

Never give up on that special photo .. it may not be perfect, but th journey is worth it. Enjoy .. I did.
