I was over at the first gazebo at Wako and saw the osprey circling near the second gazebo. This is what I saw when I got there.

Thanks Wayne. It's time for the 55-300mm to go back on my camera, but then, I'm not sure I would have gotten the heron shot.

Had a surprise PM from sonicbuffalo yesterday. He was in Ft. Lauderdale and came up to visit with me at Wako.

Chris and his wife Ginny.

They are a very nice couple and I enjoyed spending part of my day with them.

Osprey - he did go in to a dive, but went behind the bushes

He did lots of circling

TriColor fishing - not sure if he caught something - tried enlarging it, but it's a big blur.

Wonder if this Anhinga had a close call?

My first try removing something from a photo - used pixlr (free software)

I liked the shadow of the wing

So, how'd I do??

 

[Marilynne]

This guy hung around for a little bit, then went under the boardwalk. Guess he didn't like having his picture taken. The moorhen that was going crazy was happy the gator wasn't looking for lunch!!

 

[Marilynne]

Lunch time

Walk this way...

Went over to Green Cay during our evening bike ride. Spotted this baby turtle in the parking lot.

You did very well. I can barely see any artifacts, but only because I am looking for them. Before I read your question, I didn't see it at all.

What is obvious is a great Ibis photograph! IMHO, with a bit of cropping, that shot gets printed and put on the wall!

Thanks Joe and Wayne.

I don't want to crop any more. Since I didn't get the whole Ibis, I cropped it that way for the shadow.

Pat,

I can attest to Marilynne's wonderful hospitality and graciousness. I visited Wakodahatchee Wetlands this past June, and she met me at the boardwalk entrance and gave me a wonderful tour. I'm confident that sonicbuffalo and his wife (Chris and Ginny) were treated to a very memorable photographic experience.

If you're so inclined, you better do this quick before Marilynne incorporates and charges for the tour. Hopefully, when she does, she'll give us a Nikonites discount.
