Picking up where my last post left off, the following shots are a mix of short walks on consecutive weekends - April 8th, 15th, and 22nd, at Wakodahatchee Wetlands and Green Cay Wetlands in South Florida. More baby birds, as this is definitely hatching time at these spots, especially Wakodahatchee which is an established rookery spot...plus a mix of other birds and wildlife.
All shots posted at 2400 pixels on the long end if you click the photos.
All shots taken with a Sony A6600 - these first two shots with the Sony FE 100-400mm GM OSS lens, handheld:
A glossy ibis chick in its nest, with a sibling and parent in the background:
A pair of pigeons on the boardwalk handrail, working on making more pigeons:
The rest of these shots are with the Sony FE 200-600mm G OSS lens, handheld:
A female painted bunting, sitting in the shade with a strong backlight, creating varying tones of green:
A blue dasher dragonfly, doing a handstand:
Roseate spoonbill:
Black-and-white warbler high up in the canopy:
Red-shouldered hawk, resting but keeping an eye on the forest floor:
A green heron chick, wandering out of its nest to explore the tree it was born in:
A sora, sneaking around in the shallow muddy flats and pools:
A marsh rabbit:
