This little flower caught my eye.

This guy actually stood still for about three minutes

You Got One!!!!!!!!

You Got One!!!!!!!!

Finally, not what I consider a great shot, but a good one.

Finally, not what I consider a great shot, but a good one.

I know how hard they are to capture. There are too many times I have tried and failed. I have yet to get a good shot of one fishing, although I have one poor shot with a fish in it bill.

I heard a splash, then something flew on a branch. When I looked, there it was. I think it was drying a tad before trying for lunch.

Edit: Glad I had the tamzooka, otherwise I wouldn't have even gotten that.

Spotted this gal at Green Cay today - she had her litter in this tree last year.

She's keeping an eye out for the bob cats.

 

[Marilynne]

Not sure which I like better

This is more of what I saw, but you can see her eyes better in the first.

This is what momma raccoon was watching out for

Some little girl was sitting on the boardwalk and someone stepped on her finger. She started screaming and the bobcats left.

They walked a little bit to the east. Only a couple of us spotted them.

Yummy grass - little one on the left

Excellent Shooting Marilynne! Enjoying your adventures!

Thanks Chris. Wish I had the tamzooka on the D7100, but it was a yucky day and I don't like carrying it on my bike in the rain.

 

[Marilynne]

Wonder if there's anything better up there. Don't know how long this stuff has been in the dirt.

 

[Marilynne]

Momma was back again and this time I had the Tamzooka on the D7100.

A nice tasty morsel for a snack

Yuck - that was my foot!!

Time to go look for something to eat

 

[Scott Murray]

Great shots and a great start to 2015.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Scott!
