Great set of photos of mom playing injured to keep you from finding her eggs. She should have known that trick doesn't work on crusty retired chiefs.
Thanks, Hereford. Yeah, she was way out of her league!

Enjoy the new location Keith. Want to see the babies when they hatch. The shots are great sharp and colors fantastic. The eyes are tack sharp

Thanks, Johnny! We don't know how long we will be here. We came down here to meet up with one of Judy's brothers and his wife. They will return to Massachusetts soon, so nothing keeping us here. The wildlife ops are pretty slim compared to Lake Apopka!

Thanks, Sylvia. Yes, they depend entirely on camouflage. And their antics used to draw threats away from the eggs. I'm keeping an eye on the nest, hoping to get photos of babies!

We moved back down to Tampa, MacDill Space Force Base to take care of some business that we had put off for too long. We were assigned an RV site and found it already occupied.
WE had to convince the Camp manager that we would be more comfortable in the camp site adjacent to the one assigned.

Wonderful set, Chief!

Nice captures. I hope that you get some pics of the eggs hatching and the growth of the young one.

Yep! I've seen these guys before, but never had the chance to follow them up close like this! It's been fun so far!
