Stopped by the bay to see if I could get a glimpse this morning as I did some running around and sure enough. He's growing up, he's starting to get the white head and tail. He was practicing his hunting skills and mingling with some vultures when I spotted him. If you didn't know what to look for you would have thought he was another vulture. The people next to me did and still do.

    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!"

    Very nice Mike thumb.gifthumb.gif I hope you keep us updated on his growth clap.gif


    Don't let the purists get to you. We all know that Harry shoots stuffed birds, so what's the big deal? :lol :hide

    Harry's in bird heaven over there, I thought we had it good. Merritt Island has no 2nd that I know of.

    Anyway, I'll try to stop in on him again. There's some trails that go right by the nest but they have them blocked off, I thought about getting "bewildered" just long enough to find it but my conscious got to me. Hopefully they'll open them soon since he's getting bigger.
