That first one is a stunner Socrate with lots of wonderful elements in it - The perched GBH, the moon, the landscape and BIF too!
The early morning light certainly brought extra color to the pics as seen in the first 3 mostly probably because of the vegetation and water in them as compared to the rest.
My favourites are 1, 3 and 2 but they are all great pics and what great variety too.
A pleasure to view my friend.
Martin

Thank you, Martin. I appreciate your kind words. The first shot was the first scene I saw when I got there. I tried different angles, to position the moon, but this one is the one I liked best. I didn't notice the BIF until I downloaded the images.

Very nice images, Socrate.
Looks like a good place to start the day and you captured a lot
of very nice images in the beautiful morning light.

Thank you, Chris. It is a place where you can spend the whole day

I especially like the third image, Socrate.
Not even a clue what kind of bird is in #4 and #7

Charlie

Thank you, Charlie. 4 and 7 is a Crested Caracara, aka Mexican Eagle

Beauties Socrate. You might want to brighten the moon a touch in the first.

Inspiring, especially the wonderful BIF shots.
I will get back there at some point. Its clearly worth the trip.
Scott

Thanks Scott. The place is worth the trip indeed. You can use your car inside the wetlands, unless the road is floated. Stop and park the car along the road and get out to look and shoot. The roads that go around the four cells of the wetlands are all one way.
I rather walk for longer stretches, though.

The GBH in the water shot is awesome. You had a good Viera experience. Congrats on the eagle shot...he doesn't do that every day. Nice CCC flight shots too!

Thank you, Bob. Yeah, I had some good encounters at Viera. Spent three day there and the Eagle, American Bitter and Caracara were the Highlights of my trip.
I had more than one encounter with the Eagle. One day an Eagle landed right close where I was shooting
