What’s Up We saw the sun on the Fall DeSoto IPT for a total of perhaps five minutes. We did not get to photograph American White Pelican. We did not see a single Roseate Spoonbill. And it rained the first two afternoons. What seemed on the surface to be an absolute disaster, turned out, however, […] Please get well soon, Cliff!

I Should’a Stood Home (tongue in cheek) I left ILE at 4:32am on Saturday and arrived at Sebastian Inlet State Park at 5:59am, just as Maps predicted. There was no wind, zero. There were no-see-ums. And there were very few Ospreys — I saw only four in more than two hours. There was […] What’s Up? The vultures out-smarted me this morning. There were more than 50 sitting on my spot when I drove down with a load of rotten, smelly fish skins and carcasses. Thus, they walked to breakfast.

My chiropractor was late as usual, so I did not get to DeSoto until 5:20pm. I took a scouting walk with the 200-600 despite the mostly cloudy skies. I met a nice lady in a beach chair and later, a guy, who turned out to be her husband, Chris Vickerson. They live in […] Your Call ? Which of todays’ five featured flight images is the strongest image? Why? My Call At the previous blog post, blog regular David Policansky left this comment: Weakest: Image 3.
