PHOTOGRAPHING FLORIDA'S BIRDS
 

Florida has unique bird observation and photography offerings. This all digital presentation takes you to on visits to three very different locales in Florida.

The Venice Rookery is located in the middle of an urban area behind the town's police station. It offers great opportunities to photograph several nesting species including the great blue heron, snowy egret and anhinga.

One of my favorite locations is on the East coast not far from Cape Canaveral. Here the Merritt Island wildlife drive provides opportunities to photograph many shore birds in a more desolate setting. An occasional alligator adds to the adventure.

Moving back across the state on the West coast is the famed Ding Darling bird sanctuary. The location is best known for the very large white pelican and the roseate spoonbill.

In addition to many images of  birds, the program includes a discussion of the equipment and techniques necessary to capture the birds of Florida
