I will be taking a trip to Florida soon, so I thought what better way to prepare than to look at some recent Florida pictures!
I am lucky enough to have a friend down there right now who is busy filling up his memory cards with great wildlife pictures!! Ron and I became acquainted when he joined Two Rivers Photo Club, and we share a friendly photographic rivalry. I think it will be interesting to see how much our styles are alike and at the same time, different. I'll let Ron take it from here:
"I visited Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary last week and ran into a photographer who showed me the location of an owl’s nest in a tree cavity. Although there was no action at the time, he explained that there were 2 young owls in the nest and that I should check back when I could. This morning I was back there early and took some images of one of the young owls standing at the entrance to the nest waiting for mom or dad to come back with some food."
Have you seen my Mom?
How the heck did we get up here?
"I also got some shots of an adult elsewhere at Corkscrew today, but I did not get to witness adults feeding the young at the nest. As always, there were plenty of other birds to see today and even a couple of racoons. Nonetheless, I felt the owls stole the show today."
I want to thank Ron for teasing me with his terrific Owl pics!!! I will be sure to return the favor in a few weeks! I think the club needs to do a field trip to Florida!
