Description Palm Warbler in the reeds.

Myakka State Park, Sarasota Florida

We had a great night sighting-wise...including a bald eagle which took out a coot while we stood and watched. Then we got to see the crows, a few gulls, and an osprey harass the eagle as he ate. It was the sandhill cranes that finally chased the eagle off. I have about 50 shots that were almost great from the entire affair. ..... The only one worth posting is a warbler though.

Enjoy!

Wallpaper? Hmm...it would sort of work for one I suppose.... I'm glad you like it!

I am trying to be less of a lurker...I'm just tired and overwhelmed. First holiday madness...now fast-approaching craft show.

I have a nesting pair that hangs out at my job. Unfortunately they see me coming with the camera a mile away and all I get are butt shots. I have TONS of Eagle butt shots.
