A life-in-action photo with painting-like qualities.

Is there a short course in how to pronounce Florida names like Wakodahatchee and the easy one Withlacoochee?

Not really, but not far from Wakodahatchee is the National Wetlands named Loxahatchee. Try, Wa co da hat chee.
Most wetlands carry the local Indian name.
A much easier name would be the group of photographers I shoot with at Wakodahatchee, we are called the Waco Wacko's.

Many thanks. What is going on is there is a new fish hatch. The new little guys come close to the surface and the larger fish come up to feed on them.
It is interesting to note that within hours of this hatch the Great Egrets show up in numbers. It lasts from a few days to 2 weeks sometime during December to January. It is a fun time while it lasts.
The fish however do not print a schedule so you just have to wait until the Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets show up.
