A cold Florida day

Well OK cold is all relative, isn't it? Taken on Pine Island, near Fort Myers/Cape Coral. Mostly normal Florida birds, but happy with my first couple of days here.

That Conowingo shot was really that close? Awesome shot. Everytime I had a chance to stop by Conowingo, the eagles all seemed to agree the far bank was the better place.

I like the Florida shots, too. Florida is a wonderful idea right now. I am sitting here in New York City watching the "Bomb Cyclone" unleashes the blizzard on the area. Not a single bird in sight.

Enjoy your Florida stay. Take a lot of pictures.

Hi Linh , yes that storm is hitting home now with 140 km/hr winds. That eagle was about halfway across at Conowingo, but you're right most of the activity was in the far side.

Linh sums it up really well-do not have his winds but double digit lows tonite! Soak up all the warmth you can and keep posting those great shots so we can grumble!

Now that I put my glasses on and saw that you took the shot at 1000mm setting so it was not that close at all . Excellent in-flight job with the 2x.

Thanks Linh. Yes I find that shooting at 1000 mm is a requirement at Conowingo. Still a fun place though I bet there were 10,000 gulls and 40-50 eagles fishing the day I was there.

Excellent series Ian. We missed the Osprey already can't wait for them to comeback here in Northwest. We have lots of their nest up here.

Good shots and I envy you, Ian. They're currently reporting -36F in town!

Hi Al and thanks! Woke up to 40F here this morning, which is cool for Florida but sorry for all you guys up north. -36F, good grief! Stay indoors weather for sure!

Welcome to the sunny south. Hope you brought your long johns
