Immature screech owls and redbellied woodpeckers share tree
May 3, 2012 14:30:03 #
A friend told me about dead palm tree which housed red bellied woodpeckers. When I went there I also found two immature screech owls in a larger hole above the woodpeckers. While I was
on the street photographing the birds a young man came out and told me that older people were complaining about me being there and if I didn't leave they would call the cops. I showed him the owls and took took a few more shots and left. I returned two days later. Five minutes after I arrived a sheriff's deputy arrived and and asked for my ID which I supplied along with a card listing photographers rights. I showed her the owls and my images in the camera. She then talked to the property owner and I continued to shoot for another five minutes.

I think I've seen the 'photographers rights card' before on here. Do you have a link to it or do you think it's in the search option still.

Are the two that I have with me.
The larger one is in my camera bag and I printed the card size and have it in my wallet.

Should've taken a picture of the busy body that stuck their nose in where it didn't belong. That would made their day. Maybe you would've gotten in trouble but just think of all the H*** you would've raised.
Great shots worth the antagonizm.

Will,
I just got my Sigma about six weeks ago. We are close to wetlands and have had many opportunities to practice. The Sigma is light enough to handhold. Florida has provided mostly sunny days. The close up was on a cloudy day so I used the tripod. Thanks for the comments. Enjoy.
