It's been a while since I've posted any wildlife pictures from my local neighborhood and two local parks, so here are a few from the past two weeks. All pictures were taken while riding my bike, where I go fishing in the local lakes and canals every day for about 1.5 hours. Most of the shots were taken at sunset M-F, but a few were taken during the day on Saturday & Sunday. I also think this forum could use a few more pictures in it. ;-)
I keep my a6300 & FE 70-300G in a small handlebar bag, and when I come across anything that looks 'Picture Worthy' to me, I take it out and take a few pictures. It's kind of therapy for me to see if any of the pictures I take look good enough to PP. If they come out good enough, I'll share a few since some people seem to like looking at them, besides just me. I also try to include as much variety as possible, since I think it makes things more interesting.
While I was fishing, this Osprey flew right in front of me and took this fish in a nearby tree. So I grabbed my camera, walked over and took a few quick snaps.
These are a few of the burrowing owls that live at one of the parks all year long. What was interesting to me was the way they eyes were so different in color, especially the one on the left.
I usually see birds standing on this plastic goose, but this was the first time I've ever seen a turtle on it.
Here is a Cormorant that I see standing on these plastic geese all the time.
Here is one of the many Limpkins I see every day finding and eating clams.
There are quite a few wood storks that usually come down in December and stay until it starts to worm up, then they fly back up north.
This great blue heron had something in it's neck. After looking at it full size, it looks like a fishing lure. I'm not sure how it got there, but I hope it does not hurt the bird.
Another Limpkin with an ibis walking by.
This is a mocking bird, the Florida state bird.
A great white heron far away on the other side of the lake at sunset.
Now for a few critters and other things I thought were interesting.
Sometimes if I like the light and these green iguana's are all lit up in orange, I'll stop and take a picture of them. I like the way the orange, green, blue, and browns all go together.
Another iguana that I zoomed in a bit too much.
While fishing, I looked down and thought this cypress tree root (knee) looked like a frog, so I took a picture of it. After looking at it on my screen, it looks like there are a few bugs on it.
And finally, something that has been around for as long as I've been riding my bike at the park, about 16 years. There used to be a piece of electronic gadgetry in this stand. Is there anyone here 'old enough' to quess what used to be in this metal stand? Be careful, if you guess correctly, you will be showing your age.
