Along Lake Apopka Wildlife Drive, Apopka, FL.
It's rutting season and the bucks are chasing the does. This one was alone in a field following the scent of a doe, he would sniff the ground and then hold his head up and lick and snort... he did this several times. Thankfully he wasn't all that interested in what I was doing and this allowed me to capture some shots.

I walked out the door and this guy/gal was sitting in a mesquite tree across the street. I didn't get a lot of time to shoot as it took off as soon as I tried to get a little closer. Such pretty birds!
