I was climbing the walls and Sharon knew it so being the good partner she is, she kicked my ass out to go shooting some I’m down in FL! It is great to see all the birds just doing their thing here and there and where no snow right now is correct (still have just dirt at my home). So with a week of shooting to clear my head, what am I going after? Where am I going? I’m after anything that hold stills and is in good light. That’s my plan. It’s just me and the critters with no clock or objective. I wife knows how to spoil me!
Now there are two species I am looking for in my lens. The Wood Stork right now just prior to breeding season looks great and are very active, I would love to get into a feeding group that get fat and happy then go to preening. I would love to find a FL race Red-Shoulder Hawk that is as mellow as this one was that’s perched in nice light. Now some folks come to think that just because I go out with a lens, the birds line up to have me take their portrait. Such is not the case. I have my ideas, I have my hopes but until the sun rises and I’m in the field, I just don’t know what life will present me. I’ve got all the toys so if I make a good click or two, I’ll post the stills and the vid. Wish me luck.
