Lunch time! This is an insurance shot and tried to move to get a better background but he didn't like me and took off with his lunch.

I was watching this one preen itself at a distance of 20', so I thought heck why not photograph it. Image Captured in SW Florida February 5, 2024 Camera: Sony Alpha 1 600mm f/4.

Purple Gallinule - One could watch these birds walk from, lilly pad to lilly pad all day. Sadly, a recent study provided by North American Breeding Bird Survey suggested that their population is declining rapidly and accounted for a rough estimate which reflected that there are only around 10,000 purple gallinules left in the world. Images Captured in SW Florida February 5, 2024 Camera: Sony Alpha 1.

I had dozens of Cedar Waxwings show up this morning along with American Robins for the first time in many years. While feeding on berries in a tree behind my house they suddenly all flew off. When I looked up there was a Red-Shouldered Hawk flying just above the trees. He landed in a tree down the road so I walked down to get some shots. He then flew off but when I returned to my driveway I saw him perched on a pole in our back yard.

Common Gallinule image taken during Golden Hour - while the Purple Gallinules numbers may be down to about 10,000 that is the case for the Common Gallinule. It's numbers are estimated to be 5,100,000. This bird is also related to the American Coot. Image taken in SW Forida February 7, 2024 Camera: Sony Alpha 1
