It has been a long time since I posted on this forum. I haven't been doing a lot of wildlife photography lately. Last weekend, myself and several other people from the Jacksonville Camera Club took a weekend outing to Merritt Island and I took a side trip to the wetlands (sorry you couldn't join me Harry, I was looking forward to seeing you again). Here are a few of the pics that I got. Please let me know what you think.

    Thanks, everyone. #1 and #3 are going to be entered in a Jacksonville Camera Club print competition tonight. I hope the judge feel the same way. I'll find out next month.

    I especially love the first one. The GBH looks so intent on its prey, its feathers are all ruffled, and the colors and detail in the photos are really nice. I hope you win! Best, Pam

    Thanks, Pam. I have several of that one. This is the time of year to get these types of pictures, and at the wetlands it doesn't even take patience.

    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!"

    No problem Harry. As you can see I still had a good time. I'm planning on going to the farm in St. Augustine sometime in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they will be as good.

    Thanks. Keep trying, the pics are all over the place. I see that you are from Jacksonville. Do you belong to the Jacksonville Camera Club? We have outings all of the time. If you aren't check out the web site and our meetings. You will be very welcome to join us. These pics were taken only two hours south of here.

    Thanks, I guess it's a matter of luck and patience and a whole lot of help from fellow photographers.
