Once papa completed the apple snail extraction, he headed for the nest. Created the other morning at Loxahatchee. And yes, I know I just missed on that wingtip :o. I wish I had more lens for this morning but at one point this beauty actually landed on my side of the mote/canal just above eye level. I started further out but this beauty allowed me all the way in until I had a full frame filled with every detail. And guess what, that is the exact frame when my shutter failed :(. After taking a few frames close in, I looked to check histogram and saw a bright strip right down the middle of the frame in every close in image. BTW, I find PP very difficult on these beauties and wish I had better skills.
