An Osprey & a Great Egret

Dixie

Here are a couple more shots while I was in Harry's stompin' grounds last week. The first one is an Osprey shot in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge along the Bio Lab Road. This guy didn't seem to mind me shooting at all.

I still can't thank Harry enough for showing me these great places to shoot back last December. Thanks again, Harry.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome.

This is a Great Egret taken alongside the Shiloh Marsh Road in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge.




The scenery in the refuge was really pleasing as well. Check out my post on the Shiloh Marsh Road in the Field & Street Forum.

Hi Dixie,

Nice shots that you have taken, love the second one with one leg up, and that red branch almost looks like another leg, but red..

Excellent captures.

Thanks, Harry. I really enjoy the area when I can get there. I hope to make it back again when the weather is cooler and more birds are in residence. I had my wife with me when I returned from the Everglades, Biscayne and Dry Tortugas. We didn't have time to take photos, but I did take time to take her by the manatee viewing area on Merritt Island. She got a kick out of that. It was the first time she has ever seen manatees. We also did a drive-thru on Blackpoint Wildlife Drive.

I hope that the visit with the daughter is/did going well.
