imagemeister Loc: mid east Florida

The first shot is of a nesting Pileated - the nest is about 45 feet up a pine snag - I have not attempted any nest shots - yet - maybe later. This Pileated came down to get a drink of water - never seen this before ! - and he drank a LOT and then flew back to the nest to give some to the little ones I guess.

The Snowy's are from the rookery proper yesterday. I found out it is very challenging to focus on an all WHITE bird ! 8-( - and , the exposure is also challenging - especially with JPEG. These are shot with auto ISO with -1 exposure comp.

The Tricolor is from today with the Sony A9 .....I have more Snowys that I may post later with the A9/Tamron. Tomorrow I think I will take the Sony RX10 and see what I can do with it .....

Thanks to ALL for stopping by and for comment ! .....Larry

IMO, you got the exposure spot-on on your Snowys. Very nice series. Hubby & I are on our way to the west coast of Florida. However, we stop in St. Augustine on the way down and again on the way back up. I'm pretty sure you didn't get your shots in St.Augustine though!
Can't wait to see how your RX10 iv does. Mine is with me for this trip.
