The great hunter of snails, that is.

I kind of blew past my FM post #5000...so here is #5011.

We spent Spring Break visiting family in Florida. Such great shooting there in the Spring. Made my first trip over to Loxahatchee NWR one morning and was fortunate to see a Snail Kite there, which are apparently increasingly rare in FL.

This set were all shot at 700mm with the 1DX and 500L II + 1.4III.

Thanks for stopping by!

Jim

Great sequence and a lovely sighting. The first is the strongest.

Congrats on your first 5K Tough shooting against the reeds but you did a great job keeping focus....these guys wear more jewelry than the Housewives of Miami . Such great variety down there so I'm sure we will be privileged to see more.

I always forget the milestones. I just don't keep track of the number of posts. These are all very nice Jim. It's 1 for me too ~ Ron

Beauties Jim. Don't worry about passing 5000, 10K is around the corner

Nice looking set, the snails never stood a chance. Like that first one best of all. Still don't like to see so many bands on these birds, but you have no control over that.

Thanks Eric. The rangers down there keep giving this one jewelry. More to come, one of these days.

Indeed. I turn 50 this year, which provides a little perspective on these little FM milestones. Thanks for the pick
