p.1 #1 · Everglades – GBH, Buzzard, Butterfly


Here are some shots from this morning with my 400mm and a 1.4TC. I’m new to wildlife photography so please feel free to leave C&C. That is the only way that I’ll improve.

Thanks for looking, Scott

1. Great Blue Heron

4. Black Vulcher silhouette as the sun is coming up early in the AM. We've got a ton of these birds in South Florida.

Scott,

GBH stands for Great Blue Heron (no such animal as a Great White Heron) Lovely closeup & wonderful detail. Super sharp.

Shot # 2 does not load it would seem....

Shot # 3 has a nice feel to it - -

Shot # 4 elegant silhouette

Thanks Lil! The GBH is no longer a GWH!

Not sure why #2 isn't loading. I'm seeing it on my computer w/IE. Checked it w/Firefox and see it there too. However, I reloaded image #1 with a new image (and different file name) but to no avail. The same old image is still there. Yet it shows the new file name...go figure.

Thanks for the feedback.

Scott.

Nice images, Scott. The butterfly is a white peacock, mostly found around Florida and Texas.It's on a spanish needles plant.

Nice images. I enjoyed the butterfly shot not meaning the shots of the blue heron were not to my liking. I prefer, whenever possible, to show the bird in its environment in addition to some close ups.
I am repeating my visit to the Everglades tomorrow hoping it will be better than the previous one at the end of January when the place looked deserted.

King, Thanks for the detail. I've got pictures of this butterfly at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary also. Now I know what they are.

William, Thanks for taking the time to look and leave feedback. The birds were relatively active Sunday. I'm working the boat show for the next five days, but hope to get back to the Everglades soon after that. Hope to see you there.

Scott Moore, also in Miami.
