photoartflightSnowy Egret Bad Feather Day
Posted on March 29, 2020
These are from a previous visit years ago to Lake Woodruff NWR in DeLand Florida. The wind picked up some and I liked the ruffled feathers on this Snowy Egret. I was using 100 – 400mm zoom with a 1.4x teleconverter to get a little closer view.
Bittern FlyBy
Posted on March 25, 2020
It was nice to see a Bittern fly by me at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. And I was able to get a flight shot as it went by. I wish I had seen it coming so I could have gotten a few images as it was coming towards me. But it was still fun to see in flight!
Foraging Sandhill Crane

Usually you see the Sandhill Cranes foraging in the grasses for meals, but here they are foraging in the waters at Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge. It was fun to see them in a different setting!
Sora Foraging
Posted on March 22, 2020
It was fun to find a Sora foraging in one of the channels at the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge in DeLand Florida. They are a small secretive bird that forages for food in the shallow waters in the Refuge. This was the only one I have ever seen, plus have the opportunity to photograph. Usually they are hidden in the vegetation as they are feeding. They seem to constantly move pecking in the water looking for snails and other food. This was an interesting visit because I was also able to photograph the Limpkin on the same visit.
Foraging Limpkin

I photographed this Limpkin foraging for snails at the Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge years ago. I was going through backup drives cleaning out unnecessary files to clean up storage space and backing up other files. In the process I found these images of the Limpkin.
