about how far were you away from them - when I was in Fl 2 yrs ago they would fly right in the RV park and march around the rigs - then I was not so interested in bird photos - missed a good oppertunity only got a couple of "snap shots" -nothing as nice as yours - out west I have not been able to get within 150 yrds of any- they spook real easy out here

I was about 45' away. They were working a draniage ditch, and could care less what I was up to. :)
