A quick trip to Florida I made two stops Venice Rookery for these two and then Circle B Bar Preserve on the way home. I can't believe how skittish the birds are here compared to Florida. Here you look in their direction they are gone. Florida You can get three feet from them. The Sandhill Crane's will walk right up to you. Both locations were great. Only complaint I had was I saw more Eagles driving back to I-4 past the landfill. With the camera in the trunk.

Nice shots Ron.
Sandhill Cranes? May I inquire as to where you spotten them. I've been thinking of a trip to TN in the winter to shot them, but FL works too.

Thanks for all the comments.
Still trying to get more detail into the shots. I might get 2 good ones out of ten shots. Just not enough time in the day.
