What’s Up? I got down to the lake early, worked the Green Herons near the pier in pre-dawn light, and liked the results. I am, however, looking forward to doing even better. The weather was gorgeous: sunny and dead calm. I did some Limpkins, some cranes, a Tricolored Heron in a marsh setting, some dragonflies, […] Warriors NBA Champs! The Golden State Warriors, led by Steph Curry’s 34 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, easily defeated the favored Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.

On Monday 13 June, there were Green Herons fishing from the short, rotted pilings just north of the pier. I worked with the tripod mounted Sony 600mm f/4 GM lens.

With clear skies and a SW wind on Friday morning, I opted to walk the pier again with the handheld 400mm f/2.8/1.4X TC/a1 rig. I had some success with a Limpkin chick feeding sequence and made some nice Great Egret flight images. Facing a three-games-to-one deficit in the NBA finals, my beloved […] What’s Up? Thursday morning turned out to be mostly cloudy with a wind from the SW. Recently fledged Ospreys seemed to be everywhere.

We left at 4:30am and arrived at DeSoto at 6:48. The gate opened at 7:00 as usual, 27 minutes after sunrise. Bird photography was much better than I had anticipated. And there were more photographers than I thought there would be. I checked Hidden Lagoon and was delighted to see a […] What’s Up? When I got out of bed at 4:30am on Monday I peeked out the bathroom window and saw a sky filled with stars. When I headed down to the lake for a photo session at 6:55am, it was totally overcast and gloomy. Things were not looking great for bird photography. I photographed some […] What’s Up?

We did lots of scenics; the Cypress Trees are gorgeous. I did lots of […] What’s Up? Despite perfect conditions on Lake Kissimmee, Clemens Van der Werf had to work very hard to make a few good images. Why? Sun yields harsh shadows and almost all the birds that landed were on very cluttered perches. Such is bird photography. Be sure to click on today’s image to enjoy a high-res […] What’s Up? Wednesday morning seemed slow, but I created more than 1000 images. Those included today’s featured image, so it could not have been that bad. Two out of three of the young Ospreys in the low pole nest just left of the pier are now flying. And I am betting that the third one […] What’s Up? Tuesday morning was on the slow side. Yesterday’s flapping Osprey was flying. It looked as if it were enjoying it. Conditions were again perfect, and I got some good ones of the bird landing.

Photography was so good on Monday morning (1879 images created) that I never made it south of the pier. On Sunday morning there were two eggs in the Killdeer nest.
