All are excellent. I have to go with the Kingfisher as a favorite. I know how tough they are to capture.

Thanks, Ken! Yep, have many expletives for this little f***...

Any idea how the action is currently at Black Point Drive or Lake Apopka? Got a business trip coming up.

Black point: a paucity of any activity. Lake Apopka some...Least Bitterns, Gallinules, egrets, GBHs, etc and a hell of a lot of gators

Some of my favorite blue birds. All were taken this year in Central Florida...Just curious as to which one is your favorite...

Beautiful collection.

You're welcome,Dave! If you're going to either you need to get there early (around 7:30) to avoid the gator hunters (tourists) and this HEAT!!!

Yes, I usually open them up, but haven't been in a couple years...been playing in Yellowstone. I will be coming from UCF area if I go, but low activity may lead to a closer stop at the Wetlands in Christmas.

I had been reconnoitering for 18 days (why they call me Reconvic). I had tortured some unfortunate Canon wielder for hours..."WHERE IS KINGFISHER YOU GOT LUCKILY?"
He drew me a map after I broke his shutter finger (Canon doesn't have back button focus) I had waited in my Gilly suit for 3 days, living off the land (something they didn't teach you in the Army). This blue chichichichittering imp kept flying by me (chichichichitering translates into : "your mama eats kitty litter") My prayers to Father Nikon were finally answered when this little blue a**h*** flew right in front of me (he couldn't see me) ....the rest is ???? Semper Fi !!!!
