p.1 #1 · The Everglades - It's for the Birds

[Edited to correct the identification of #9 -- thanks, Tim Griffin]

Spent some enjoyable time in Florida last week, with a couple of days in the Everglades. These images are from the Shark Valley area and the Anhinga Trail, and all with the 1D MkIII and 300 F4. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking.

1. A Wood Stork making short work of a spotfin spiny eel. Just got a few spur of the moment shots of this, and thanks to my sister-in-law, Pat, for sounding the alert.

Very nice - the Anhinga sequence is great! I think the Tricolor Heron is actually a Little Blue, but very well exposed

Excellent shots! If only that snow storm would pass so I can get in my car and drive down to south Florida. I am missing the best birding time of the year

Thanks, Tim - and thanks for the catch on the Little Blue.
I was shooting something else when the Anhinga caught my eye coming up to the path - luck!
