Finally, something other than chickadees and woodpeckers to shoot :)

Normally I only see a few Dark Eyed Junco's on the ground but a whole flock passed through the other day.

Snowing off and on and overcast but...

Here in FL spoonbills are an obsession with many photographers, including me!! Ever since I discovered they existed, which was only a few years ago. This year I haven;t seen too many locally, usually there are more by now. But in March I was at a spoonbill rookery with Medicineman and Archibald, I have been there before, and there were a bunch of them. Locally they have been a bust so far.

I'm not seeing any to speak of either. Someone told me it was because we haven't had any rain.....which we surely have not. We're about 7 inches behind at this point.

But I don't understand how that would make for no spoons. The lakes and ponds are low but not dry.

When I was in Florida last March, I saw what seemed to be a normal number of spoonbills. I saw them at the Orlando Wetlands, Circle B Bar, Viera, and in spades at the Stick Marsh. Birds move around. There used to be lots of spoonies at Merritt Island, but I have heard there are few there any more. It's similar with other species. The Anhinga Trail used to be fantastic, crowded with birds, alligators and big white lenses - but no more. But other locations are still good. I've asked and nobody has a good explanation for these changes.

It was okay..it is kind of slow to focus imo. Also you don't get the same level of bokha. It is an okay lens.
