Woody, don't you get tired of taking so many top notch bird photos?
I don't see anything wrong with his gator shot Ron!HE SHOULD HAVE ASKED MARILYN FOR HELP WITH HIS GATOR SHOT.

And here in sunny South Carolina, it was 94 degrees at my visit to Swan Lake in Sumter with the CNPA.

At one of the nests I'm watching a couple of the youngsters flew out of the nest this morning and perched nearby. I only got to see this one. Not too long later all three youngsters were asleep back in the nest cavity. I missed the flight shots, and I've been in a bad mood about that all day.

This young owl had just started branching, and fell from a tree this morning. It was unhurt, and was walking around, likely trying to find a good place to climb back up into another tree where it would be much safer. I kept my distance, and Mom and Dad were keeping a close watch. I lost track of the little guy. I've seen newly branched owlets fall before, and they have an amazing ability to use those huge talons to grip the tree and climb right up the trunk. Hopefully all goes well for this one.
Camera geek side note: On the first shot I was able to get a sharp shot at 1/40 shutter speed on my 500mm PF hand held by leaning against an embankment and sort of digging my elbow into it to steady the shot.
