Black Vulture

Roseate Spoonbill

I was SO excited to see a flash of pink in swamp. I quickly drew, took aim and shot, shot, shot - but as you can see, it wasn't in the cards to get a fantastic shot. I should have jacked my ISO up more when we drove through shadows in the early morning, but I didn't and, well. . .there ya go.

Second snap was no better than the first, in fact, we have an intruder passing through the frame. Oh well.

Then the spoonbill decided to flee the scene as well. So, a phenomenal, rock your world photo was not to be, but I did enjoy actually seeing one in person.

Just a Big Cypress Jaunt

There's a little bird up there somewhere, we heard him from the trail, never did spot him though.

We did spot some oranges and grapefruit though.

I never knew that orange trees have thorns! Ouch.

We all sent Haden up anyway. He came down with a lot of oranges and a few scratches.

The grapefruit were a wee bit easier to get too. Not much though, lol.

No critters on this trip, but we did keep our eyes open for panthers and alligators. If they were near, we never saw them.
