Hi friends,
Was out shooting this morning in search of some birds on the wing to practice up for an upcoming trip to Indian Rocks Beach in Florida. This guy flew overhead and I had one chance to shoot. Lucky me, my 70-200 Canon Lens and my 7D had all the right settings. It pays to be prepared. Not an exciting shot but the bright red eye is what I was after. Such fun.

South of where you will be in Florida, you will find Fort DeSoto State Park. The fishing pier is teaming with birds, and sometimes dolphins.

Thanks for the info. We have been to that pier and aside from some gulls and cormorants did not see much else. Will go back again on your recommendation. Did get a wonderful image of a tricolored heron the last time we were at Indian Rocks Beach. I'll post it here. Would like to find a green heron that I caught a glimpse of.
