Went up to Gatorland USA today at the urging of Marina, and i'm so very glad she suggested it.
I would never think to go there on my own being from the Oregon. Nesting wood storks, cormorants and egrets galore. Numerous egrets sitting on blue eggs in nests or already in the process of feeding their fuzzy little chicks. A tremendous experience for up close work. Thank you , Marina, for giving me so many great leads on this wonderful round-the-horn 17 day shoot. Up until today, I thought Green Cay would be the highlight of the trip, but Gatorland even topped that due to the close proximity nest activity. Frankly, I was "wowed" by it all.
