Playing Dolphins

The wife and I just landed in Cedar Key Florida for the winter, managing a small Motel, RV Campground and Tiki Bar.

This place is birding paradise and every day I'm going crazy not being able to go out shooting. We're trying to get the place cleaned up, but that's another story.

Cedar Key is a beautiful place. I was just there for thanksgiving. There is a ton of wildlife out there.

Hi Pat, You and Cindy picked a neat place to winter. It may get colder than more southern areas, but there is a lot of wildlife around there and it is a neat place. We once landed at the Cedar Key airport with a friend who had his own plane. That was some experience. We've never stayed at Sunset Isle, where you must be. My son has some hunting property not far from Cedar Key and we were just up there on our recent trip.

Neat shots of the dolphins herding fish. We witnessed that once when we were boaters. A group of dolphins herded a school of fish close to shore, then cut them to ribbons. Interesting to watch.

Have a great time at Cedar Key.

WHat a great way to spend the winter!!! Great captures.

Great stuff, Pat!

Thanks for the comments guys!! Stan, if you make it back up this way, give me a shout and we'll make it a point to go out shooting.

There are two big Osprey nests right over by the Airport, and we just talked with one of the locals who dropped off some brochures that was advertising taking people up in his plane for aerial flights for $20 a person!!

When I was asking him about it, he simply said "I'm retired and just love to fly, if I can get a few people to help pay for fuel I'm happy, I'm not doing it to make money!" That's my kind of guy!!

So as soon as the weather breaks, its been quite cloudy and rainy the past week, we plan to take advantage of that for sure

For sure, if we are up that way, we'll check with you. Do take the flight, that is a great area for low level reconnaisance.

love them, keep up the good work

Stan, I'm planning on it as soon as the rainy weather clears up. I'll be sure to post some aerial photos up after we take it

I've never done any Aerial Photography before, so I'm looking forward to trying something new

Anyone got any hints?

Great shots!

fist one is great! good job.

Thank you!

Thanks, that was a lucky shot in that low of light while the sun was setting, but it turned out nice. He had a nice catch to bring home for supper
