Went to Flamingo yesterday to search for the woodies and the rangers closed off path to the tree. Since I didn't want to get a fine in a national park, I opted for osprey shots.
I thought the interaction was funny here. I used Viveza on this as I'm starting to get the hang of it to help me with the sky and with the shadows on the birds. great program I must say....

that's funny!! i think he's talking to you! too bad about the woody nest. i hope they all survive. i know they've had some pressure from the local red-shouldered hawks.
Man, you gotta love it. Criminal photographers have been working that nest for three+ months, and now that the chicks are fledging the Feds are there to "save them" from our onslaughts... Love the left bird but poor head angle on his sibling and a few too many branches for me.

The expression on the left bird just rocks! I hope they will be there next February for me. I personally do not mind the extra branches. I like habitat shots. But do agree with the right bird for a head turn. Still a keeper.
