I stopped by a location that I don't spend much time at due to the difficult light angle and dense foliage. It's a straight road that goes between a swamp and a large pond so there's no moving to better the light and/or avoid obstructions. The gators cross it frequently so I have to keep my eyes open since the dense foliage comes very near the road. When a gator pops out it's good to be out of its way. The herons are nesting now but they're deep in the cover, most of the time I have to poke my lens through a narrow opening to get shots and hope there's some sunlight on the bird. A couple of perches are workable but it takes patience since the nesting birds are pretty skittish. A little breeze from the right direction can help sometimes, especially with Green Herons.
