Rookery At Orlando Wetlands

[Second Hand Pat]

Here's a couple images from early this week...

This guy seemed to be chilling. It must have been perfectly balanced the way it was holding it's feet.

I returned to Orlando Wetlands this past Friday and took a mono-pod with a ball head and tried using it for BIF and that was a disaster. I think I need a gimbal head on the mono-pod for BIF and a lot of practice lol. Here's some photos from that trip.

Judging by the bouquet on the turtle's shell, my guess is that "he" is a lady. That one's my favorite pic.
