Business brought me to Florida for another 36 hours or so, and I got to spend about three of them (before i had to dash for a plane) at Wakodahatchee Wetlands near DelRay Beach Florida. The wetlands are actually part of a water treatment facility and have a mile or so boardwalk that really is amazing if you like birds, turtles, gators, and more birds. What I've shown below is really just a small taste and i was only there a few hours. Hope you don't mind the big post. If you get a chance, take a look at the entire gallery (and there are many more good shots) of the wetlands here: http://kt.smugmug.com/gallery/2389626

Harry, I hope you've had a chance to take a gander at this place, because it seems almost tailor-made for bird hounds....

Regards...Keith

    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!"

    Wonderful shots
    Thanks for sharing these. Very good and sharp. Great variety and color. I went to a "bird preserve" yesterday in Southern California and saw about 3 birds. I think they all went to Florida for the Winter.... Sigh!
