Its that time of the year
Hi Y'all,
Once a year they drain the click ponds by the Viera Wetlands. The fish get caught in the shallow water and the birds flock in for the easy pickings.
the march of the sandhills
the sandhills depart
plenty of spoonbills
the white pelicans arrive
a crowd scene
a few raptors made guest appearances

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!"

My favorites are the "march of the sandhills" and "the white pelicans arrive" but they are all wonderful.

Thanks Denise that sandhill image has been very popular. I like it because I followed some advice I impart when I teach a workshop. I always tell my students to take their eye away from the viewfinder and to look at the whole scene before them. When I got this capture I think half the bird photographers in Florida were at the click ponds. Everybody was glued to their viewfinders trying to isolate subjects and the air was filled with the sounds of shutters being released. I was the only one who was looking at the whole scene and the only one who captured this scene.

I'm amazed at the number of people who don't look around them. I can't tell you how many times people have commented on one of my photos saying that they were in the same spot but didn't see what I saw.
I'm glad you weren't glued to the viewfinder because I wouldn't have wanted to miss your photos!

Thanks much Jeff and things here were very slow until they drained the click ponds.

It is so nice that it looks like a first rate composite image. A capture like that is indeed unique

Wow, I haven't heard from you for a bit Bob. The light has been amazing down here. I love shooting in winter when our light isn't so harsh.
Hope is going well for you.

I was very lucky. I had the light, the reflections and then the sandhills decided to march against a BG of spoonbills. Everything just worked out perfectly.

Happy Holidays! Pam
I've had a few comments on the grass. I thought about taking it out but it was too close to the spoonies to do easily and I didn't want to mess around with the image. The grass is not a reflection, that's just the way it was growing

I'm glad you didn't take it out. It is just such a fascinating photo, and the grass is a small part of what makes it so interesting. Best, Pam
Thanks very much Vince and good luck with your photography.
