What a beauty, Pippan! You got the sweet light on this one.

Beautifully photographed close-up of the Eurasian Eagle Owl, Judy! Very sharp.

This is definitely a masterful capture, Paul! It truly is a beauty!

Thanks for the kind words Mike. Happy trails.

“The sound of birds stops the noise in my mind.” - Carly Simon

So, the white pelicans are back at Ft. De Soto. they're hard to capture close up, they're a skittish bunch, along with some of the other birds that group with them for safety. Handheld with the early morning atmospheric light just starting to lighten them up. Both are cropped and the 2nd shot even more so I lost some detail.

Been a while catching up with the forum, haven't been out taking pictures either. Over 9000 posts!
Managed to get a morning out and took some pictures last week. Still a lot to process.
