well hidden, did you spot it flying in there? thats how i usually see them.

No, a bunch of birders tried pointing it out to me. I simply couldn't see it. One of the ladies gave me her binoculars and I still couldn't find it. She told me it was between the two logs on the right side. That's a lot of distance there. After five minutes she told me to look in front of the black clump.

Not sure what he's doing. Checking on a nesting area?

This looks like a good spot

I had planned on watching where this Red Winged Blackbird was heading, but some one who knew better (another local photographer), distracted me by asking where the large gator was. When I looked back, she was gone.

Can you find the Solitary Sandpiper? This time I spotted it myself and there wasn't anyone around to share it with.

Look for it in the circle

Closer view.

Way to close to the boardwalk, so you just get head shots of the Mottled Ducks.

The bill on this one is a different color

Highly cropped, but happened to see a face on its bill
