While Sebastian Inlet is justifiably famous around the world for the Ospreys diving for saltwater fish each fall, there are a variety of desirable avian subjects there as well in October and November. Keep reading if you would like to join me on what will surely be a memorable photographic and learning experience. <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Pick Your Own Dates Short-notice Sebastian Inlet Ospreys and More BAA Personalized Instructional Workshops<\/h3>\n

Ridiculously Inexpensive!<\/p>\n

Dates: October 29 (arrive on the afternoon of Monday the 28th) thru the morning session on Saturday 22 November<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As BIRDS AS ART lost more than $100,000 in tax year 20223, I am moving forward looking more at sharing expenses than at making money. Simply put, for more reasons than I will list here, sharing an AirBnB or VRBO place maximizes learning while reducing your overall travel costs. <\/p>\n

Consider joining me at Sebastian Inlet this fall for some great bird photography and a ton of learning. Life is short; what are you waiting for? While a 600mm f\/4 lens is ideal, you could do the whole trip with a variety of other lenses including a 500mm f\/4, a 400mm f\/2.8, a 200-600, a 100-500, a 300mm f\/2.8 with TCs, or one of the great new Nikon Z telephoto lenses. <\/p>\n

Bob Eastman is driving from Wisconsin and doing all 26 days. Thus, I have two bedrooms in the great 4-bedroom AirBnB just 22 minutes from the south jetty at the State Park, 24 minutes from the northwest pool where the Ospreys spent a lot of time last year.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, those who come would stay for a week or ten days (or 26 days!) to maximize the opportunities. Fewer days would work also. Fly to Orlando and rent a car. Local folks who would like to arrange a morning or two of In-the-Field Instruction during October should get in touch via e-mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, if you stay in the AirBnB with me, are the ridiculous low rates for the in-the-field sessions (that include the daily Image Review and Photoshop sessions. <\/p>\n

$250 for a morning session<\/p>\n

$150 for an afternoon session. <\/p>\n

Brunch and dinners at the AirBnB will cost you $20\/day.<\/p>\n

If you are interested, let me know your preferred dates via e-mail<\/a> and I will get back to you with the per\/night price for the lodging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh caught Alaskan seafood caught sustainably. Save $20 on your first order by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Wild Alaska Salmon and Seafood Company<\/h3>\n

Ever since my two daughters sent me a big box of salmon filets and sea scallops from Wild Alaska Salmon and Seafood Company for my birthday a few years ago, I have been ordering salmon and scallops from them. Now that Junior’s Fish Market in Lake Wales is closing, I will be depending on Wild Alaska every month. I always order Sockeye filets and the Sea Scallops. The stuff comes frozen solid, is easy to prepare, and tastes pretty much as good as the fresh stuff would. <\/p>\n

You can save $20 on your first order by clicking here<\/a>. Eating wild caught seafood is about as healthy as you can go. The scallops are a real treat. When you sear them, be sure to cook them in the liquid that comes in the bag and be sure not to overcook them. I bake or broil the lightly seasoned salmon filets skin side down in olive or coconut oil. <\/p>\n

Buy Direct from the Fisherman<\/h3>\n

Captain Tony has been fishing in Alaska since 1990. Wild Alaska is famous for their wild caught Sockeye and King Salmon! All of our other fish, including Ahi Tuna, Shrimp, Scallops, Cod, etc., are responsibly sourced, caught the right way and closely inspected by Capt. Tony to meet our high standards of quality and freshness. They catch and process all 5 species of wild pacific salmon, and source our other seafood products from high quality sustainable fisheries.<\/p>\n

The stuff tastes great and is good for you. Internet orders to the continental United States are shipped from their fulfillment center in the Midwest allowing their seafood products to reach US customers in perfect condition. The flavor and texture of their salmon and other products remain fresher than fresh is because the stuff is frozen the same day it is caught. <\/p>\n

Note<\/h3>\n

Nutritionally, if you are eating farm-raised salmon or feeding to your family, you might as well be eating pop tarts. Sockeye salmon has the highest amount of Omega 3 of any fish with approximately 2.7 grams per 100-gram portion. Therefore, just one serving of Alaska salmon per week can help to lower cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. Scallops are widely considered one of the healthiest seafoods. Made up of 80% protein and sporting a low fat content, they can help you feel fuller longer and are rich in vitamins and minerals. They are also a great source of antioxidants.
