Hi Y'all,

I had a chance to go back to the island that I had visited in Feb. during the MI VI shoot.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Excellent captures, Harry! I especially liked the reddish egret BIF and the baby egrets.
    To think that I'll have to wait almost whole year before going there again... :D

    All very nice! thumb.gif

    I'll pick the BCNH and the Egret for my favs.:D

    Maybe it's just the dismal weather here that makes me ask this...but it seems to me that your shots are brighter than usual lately. Just happen chance or on purpose?

    They are stunning captures Harry. Mymom lives in Fort Myers I don't know how far that is from you.
    I am ding darling everyday I'm down there hoping to get a nice shot of the spoonbills but haven't managed it yet. The light you have captured on them is simply wonderful.

    peace, gail

    We saw alot of the same birds that we photographed at the Viera Wetlands as well as Purple Gallinules, Wood Stork, a Bald Eagle fishing, and a Least Bittern that came out for some photos! (and only one other photographer)

    Looks like a good island to shoot. Nice series Harry. Especially like the spoonies. thumb.gifthumb.gif Wish I had a close island with spoonies. I'm still looking. I did finally find an excellent eagle nest in the area. wings.gif :ivar :D
