My Forsythe Shots

[jbwolffiv]

So last week proved to be like most trips to Forsythe for me, either bad lighting due to crummy weather or no good birds. ; This day was to be no good birds. ; There were plenty of geese and pintails (I happen to like the look of the pintails) but no real birds of prey to speak of. ; Here are the two shots from 3 loops around that I liked.

Both are excellent, John. ; Reflections in the first show added depth. ; The second looks like it could be on a hunting stamp. ; The only way to have more opportunities is to go move often. ; I know Howie has days there with little to photograph. ; Persistence is a trait all wildlife photographers (heck, all photographers) must have.

I really like that first shot with the reflections.

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks, and you are totally correct, persistance and patience. ; I am working on both!

What's common to one person is special to another - I'd love to see those pintails, as they rarely make it down my way. ; Nice shooting, especially considering limitations in weather - the second shot is lovely and crisp with good detail.

Any time you want more of a guarantee with bird shooting, come on down here to Florida - any given day, I can bring you around a 1 mile walking loop and guarantee 50 species minimum, and usually numbering in the dozens of each!

Thanks Justin. ; It would be great to shoot some birds in Florida instead of just concentrating on WDW! ;
I may take you up on that some day!
