Big Red Landing 2
Back in 2017 I posted an image of Big Red landing at Ft. DeSoto. The sun was literally minutes away from touching the horizon of the Gulf behind me, thus the very red tones. This was one frame earlier than the prior post. Big Red had been hanging out in the vegetation on the far side of the North Beach Lagoon, and I sat and waited for what seemed an eternity, knowing that sooner or later he would fly over to his favorite fishing spot at my side of the lagoon. As the sun was dipping I feared he might wait too long, but he didn't disappoint. Having him in my sights and having a pretty good guess as to his flight path, I was able to track his entire flight to the point of touchdown.
